The
also,
like
any other
authors,
This is the
the practice of all the Muslims when they
are writing books.
They commence their writing with the basmalah.
Means
The in the Arabic language, there is something
called,
coining. So
becomes the verb, which means to say.
So
if someone tells you
means
means
to
say
So the best mother
saying is
It is
to start
with. Though,
there is a hadith mentioned about it
that
any significant
matter,
any important issue, topic
that's not
begun
or started with the,
then it is
void of any good in it.
This hadith
is weak.
As a matter of fact, very weak generation.
Though
graded it as acceptable.
But the
scholars of hadith majority,
but it is very hadith, very weak narration.
So the evidence is not this hadith. The
evidence is others. Evidence the Quran.
We all know that,
when
he,
sent the
the letter
to the queen of Sheba.
Basmala is there.
The prophet
when he,
wanted
to,
send letters,
the letters begin with
the.
So it is sooner to start with the.
And
the meaning of the,
and,
because we are not in a rush
to go through this,
religion and the mentors because you have to
understand, my dear brothers and sisters,
that the writings
of the
the scholars,
they write a small booklet, but it is
so rich.
So we need to
understand
what
we we try our level best to know
what the author is trying to tell to
tell us.
So we need to get rid of this,
past
things, past,
way of thinking.
Let us finish it quickly.
Okay?
Class courses
over the weekend. I finished this book.
These students, they spend months
studying such booklets with
because
easy come, easy go.
So if you don't comprehend and digest it
and understand it and internalize it,
soon it will,
evaporate, and it will
not stay in your memory
longer.
Now let us now
try to understand the back the bat in
Bismillah.
I will not go into grammars
because
many, they don't like grammar.
But just to
make you feel
how rich is the Arabic language,
this has
more than 18
meanings.
Only. The letter.
Anyway,
so the here,
one of the meanings of the
means
to seek the aid or the support of
something.
For example,
to Bill Palam.
To
I wrote
with the help of the pen,
with the assistance and the aid of the
pen.
So the back is for
It has many meanings, but we are talking
only here.
So when you say
that I begin whatever
action you are doing seeking
Allah's help.
And this
bath,
whenever you see
this, we call them roof and jaw,
and bath is one of them.
So whatever
comes about after it is is a noun.
It will not be verb. Immediately, whatever comes
will be a noun.
And the last letter will have this
sign of the Arab, which is
kasra,
the middle sign
underneath.
Bismillahi.
Bismillahi
what?
In the name of what? Name of Allah.
Here,
this we call it
Shiver Yumla
or quasi
sentence.
It means
there is a verb implied inside.
It is linked with that verb,
and the
verb
will always
suit the situation.
So if I am writing and I say
Bismillahi,
that means in the name of Allah,
the verb is here in 5. What is
it? It suits the writing, so it means
Bismillahi,
I write.
If I before eating, I say, Bismillah,
it means there's a verb here,
implied,
means in the name of Allah,
I eat.
If I want to stand up, I say
Bismillah.
This means in the name of Allah,
I stand
up or get up.
So there will be always
a verb
suits the action
implied.
I hope this is clear so far
to the brothers and sisters. So,
Bismillahir
Rahman Al Rahim
in the name of Allah
And Allah,
many of the scholars consider it is
And this name Allah,
no one
throughout the history
called himself
this name.
No one.
Because
we all
have it inside us, the belief,
the truth of Allah, but this is the
name of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. And this name, Allah,
exists in every tongue,
in every language.
And this is an explicit evidence
for the existence of Allah
that this deity, the creator of the heavens
and the earth,
his name exists in all these languages
because Allah means
the Mahabud,
the one who's worshiped,
the true god,
the creator of the heavens under her. If
you ask
anyone
in his mother tongue,
You find there is a name talking about
the supreme
being,
Sabana,
the creator.
Sir,
always
and now the author is saying,
I begin writing
this
treatise,
this small booklet,
seeking Allah's help and support.
This means that.
Al Rahman.
Another name of Allah's names.
And Al Rahman,
this is intensive
form
intensive form.
And
it means
the I hope the brothers and sisters are
writing.
The owner
of the
vast, vast
mercy.
So Allah's mercy
encompasses everyone.
Allah's mercy encompasses
all creation,
and he is the man.
His mercy, Subhanah,
overcomes his anger.
His mercy
receives his anger.
He wrote in a book with him on
the
throne, so Allah wrote in a book with
him
on this throne
that my mercy
overcomes my anger,
my mercy
precedes my anger.
So this is Brahman,
and
once he
understand and study
the names of Allah,
my dear brothers and sisters,
this is what Imam Abu Nalpayin
always emphasizing, that
understanding the names of Allah
give life to the heart
and rekindle the iman
and triggers the loss
and the show and the yearning
towards this creator.
Imagine.
He loves you
more than your mother.
Shouldn't he be loved?
Indeed, he should be.
Wallahi,
he should be.
He loves us more than our mothers,
and we know the love of the mother.
We know it.
Everyone knows the love of mother
and how much his mother loves him or
her.
Everyone knows that.
So much so that
in one of the
military expeditions
and the Muslims won the battle
and they were captives,
prisoners of war,
and one mother
was running around
like a mad woman.
The foster family is watching, and the Sahaba
are were watching,
searching,
crazy,
missing her child.
And when she found her child, she had
her child.
And the prophet told him, asked the Sahaba,
what do you think about this
mother? Can she throw her child into the
fire?
Is there any chance, any possibility
that she could she can easily throw this
child into the fire?
Is it impossible?
Possible.
Say,
indeed
Allah
loves
us, loves each one of us more than
this one,
love for her
child.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I hope you're with
it.
The mother
was hesitant to jump into the fire,
into the because
of her son. You remember. You know that.
Or many of you know this.
And those are he's one of the children
who spoke
while they were infants.
This dictator
no Nawaz
and Hamiri,
they executed and killed the Christians, the early
Muslims in Iran,
and he dumped
a trench, set fire in it, and he
is
pushing
the Christians to jump into the fire.
And this mother came carrying her child.
So when she's on the brink of the
pit,
she
was reluctant
because of her child.
The child will be burnt.
Allah
made the child to speak.
And he said, mom,
mother, my mother,
we are on the We
are on the right. We are right
and the truth.
So she jumped with her son.
Whose mercy encompasses everything,
he
created
100
Rahma,
100
parts of mercy.
He sent only 100
100
to the earth,
and he kept
99
parts
for the day of resurrection
to shower,
to give these parts of mercy to the
people on the day of resurrection.
So what do you see now? All the
aspects of mercy.
He is kind, he is merciful, he is
this, he is that because of this 100.
He instilled this rahma
in our hearts.
We feel
kind and merciful towards
the poor, the needy, the children,
animals
because of this 100.
So much so that the prophet said,
because of this 100
part
of the rasmon,
the mare,
the
female horse,
the mare
lifts up its hoof,
lifts its steps over its face because
of this 100
parts of mercy.
The bird
leaves the nest the mother
or the father
and fly around
picking food
and come back to the nest
and fill
the tummies
of the cheeks,
and you have seen that.
That is because only of this fraction of
rachma.
This is Allah, my dear brothers and sisters,
the most kind,
the most merciful.
The one whose mercy encompasses everything.
Al Raheem, another name of Allah's name.
And
Al Raheem
This is a special type of mercy.
A special mercy
for the believers.
The one who delivers
his mercy
to those who deserve it. And this
Rahim,
that Rahim is in the day of resurrection.
Because
in the dunya,
Allah
shows his mercy and shows his mercy towards
humanity.
Though many of them
are not worshiping him.
Many of them, they deny
him,
and they say he's not there. He feeds
the atheist.
And when they fall sick, he grants them
health to recover
because of this.
But al Raheem, this
style of mercy,
this is what they believe us on the
day of resurrection.
Another thing, my dear brothers and sisters,
when we
come across the names of Allah,
the names of Allah,
they are not
abstract
names,
which means they are not names that are
void of meaning.
Each name has a meaning
inside it.
And that meaning of the name is what
we call siva or siva,
the attribute.
Attribute.
So every name of Allah
carries within itself
the meaning, it conveys the meaning,
and that meaning
is the an attribute of Allah
because Allah's names, they have meanings.
They are not just names without meanings. No.
They have meanings.
So Al Rahman,
the most merciful,
what is the meaning? It's the one who
has mercy.
So
the mercy
is one of the attributes of Allah.
So you approve of it and believe in
it, and this is the belief of Alexander
and Gemana
and Sarah Bostrom.
They are not like the deviant tech,
the Martyrs' allies or the Jamites,
who are considering names of Allah just abstract
names. No meaning at all.
No.
Each name has a meaning,
and that meaning is the
and attribute of Allah.
And the attribute here is the mercy.
So Allah merciful,
Allah has mercy,
and this mercy
is an attribute
of
person
or essence.
Because
the attributes of Allah
can be
attribute an attribute of action
or
So
here, the rahma
is an attribute,
personal attribute
of Allah's
person,
and it can be also an attribute of
action
that he,
can be merciful to whomever
he wants, and he can deprive whomever he
wants out of his mercy
of his mercy. To deprive him of his
mercy because he or she
decided not to seek his mercy.
So what I'm trying to say here,
any name of Allah has a meaning and
this meaning
is called
Asifa,
the attribute.
And this refutes
the Asharite.
Asharite is a a sect among the Muslims
who do not approve
all the attributes of Allah.
There are attributes only few of them.
Either 20 or 7,
when whereas
the every name has a meaning, and the
names of Allah
are not known.
More than 99 names.
They are names. Only Allah knows them.
And every name has a meaning, and the
meaning is,
and they do not
approve of these attributes of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
So
I'm
digressing,
a bit here, but
when we go ahead,
you will understand these things.
In the name of Allah, the most merciful
actually,
the entirely merciful,
if we want to translate it.
The entirely
merciful.
The especially merciful.
So the my dear brothers and sisters,
which we
when we want to do
something, it is just like
a key.
It is like the key.
You are unlocking
certain things.
So
before I start the recitation
of the Quran, I seek Allah's protection. Remember
the then
the basmalah.
I seek Allah's help
to help
me
to
understand
his speech.
When
I eat, I say.
K?
So
seeking, I was help
to make this food,
okay,
beneficial to me,
not to harm me.
So I eat this food
in his name,
And I'm grateful to him
because
he made it easy for me
to get this food,
Bismillah.
And when you say bismillah,
while when you are going to eat
barakah,
the blessing
What's
the barakah
in the food
in the food?
So when you want to eat, say,
Maybe you think, what is this spiritual food,
say,
and you will see the barakah.
That's why it was
the sunnah of the prophet
whenever
he's invited
and there are many people and the food
is little,
he tells the people, don't touch it.
Don't touch it.
And he started scooping out the food
and
praying to Allah to put the barakah.
And the food
will suffice
all.
Great multitude of people
and will remain
the same as it is not
touched.
The
have guests.
So
the
and called him to come. So he left
his guests
and told his son, when the food is
ready,
give it to the guests.
And the child did.
But,
the guests were Arabs.
They say, where is your father? He said,
the prophets called him, so he went. He
said we will wait for him.
We will wait for him.
We will not eat
without him.
Saidna Abu Bakr came late.
So he asked,
had the guest eaten?
They told him, no. They're waiting for you.
Saidna Abu Bakr got very angry
and started
shouting at his son.
So much so that the the the child
the son his son disappeared and ate himself.
So he said to Abu Bakr
he was very angry. So he took the
food. He put it in front of them,
and he said eat.
They said, you sit and eat. He said,
I will not eat.
Said, I
will not eat.
They said, we will not eat
if you don't eat.
They said, what I've said,
So he realized that this is
wanted to
spoil their night. So he said,
and they started eating.
The narration tells us
that they were eating
and the food is
increasing
increasing.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
When do we say it?
It? When do we say the?
There are certain
occasions where we say the.
Before eating,
you say.
Before you eat, you say
Not
As in the hadith and the Bukhari Muslim,
said,
say this
He was teaching,
the little boy.
And this is what we should do.
Teach teach our children.
Little child.
Eat
with your right hand.
Many people, they don't know how to eat
with their right hand.
They eat with their left hand, and this
is haram.
I'm not saying it is.
It is haram
haram.
Eating with the left hand is haram.
So the one who eats with the left
hand, he is simple.
Because
the when he saw the man
eating with his left hand, he told him
eat with your right hand.
He said He
said So he told him, eat with the
right hand. He said, I cannot.
So the prophet
said,
may
as the,
may you not be able to use it.
You'll not be able.
So his hand was paralyzed
immediately.
And the prophet
said what stopped him
from using the right hand is given
arrogance.
So eating with the left hand is haram,
and the shaytan eats with his left hand.
And, you know,
they they want to educate us, let's say,
you Muslims of that world.
K? We are civilized civilized
nation.
We are civilized nation? We
are the civilized nation.
We are the one who told them. We
are the ones our forefathers who brought them
from the darkness into light.
The Islamic civilization
in Spain?
They were in darkness, started darkness.
Now they are saying no. No. No. No.
No. We will teach you the etiquette of
the table.
So take
the
knife and the fork,
and keep the fork on the left hand
and cut
and
eat eat
eat. You eat with the left hand.
This is the etiquette of the table.
What if I reverse?
What if I put the fork in the
right
and the knife in the left and I
cut and eat with my right hand using
the fork?
No. No. No. No. No. No. That's not
the etiquette.
So the etiquette to eat like the shaytan.
And that is how I'll be civilized
if I eat,
the hand the hand we can use it
to clean myself with,
to remove the dirt
when you defecate,
that's why you eat with it.
Say, Bismillah,
eat with your right hand.
Eat with your right hand.
And if there is a valid reason,
something wrong,
this hand is broken, that's different.
Normal circumstances,
you eat with the right hand.
So by mentioning the last name,
runs
away.
Go and
he's he's deprived of
enjoying the food
and using the right hand.
Then
he's teaching the child
and eat
what is in front of you. Don't jump
and put your hand there.
So this is
some of the occasions
when you say the.
So we say
before we start eating.
Also, the same thing for drinking
for drinking
before you drink.
And you drink, but the last time,
it is also not a lot.
The prophet of Salem said, and this is
in Timothy,
said do not drink.
When you are drinking, don't just
gulp it like that,
like the camel.
Because
many of you, they don't know how the
camel drinks.
I'm a bad one.
I know the camels.
I tend to camels. I tend to cheat.
I was a
shepherd.
So
when a camel comes to the water,
we know that the camels, they witness stand
first
for months.
But when they come to the water,
they go
for a long
time in one stretch, in one goal,
drinking gallons of water.
Gallons.
And that's why in the Quran, Allah said
about the kuffar.
When they drink
they drink in Jahannam,
he said,
that you will drink
that
molten
boiling
liquid fluid
in that pot
in one double.
Though it is hot,
they will not sieve it. They will drink
it just the way
the thirsty comeals.
They would drink
like the thirsty camels.
See the beauty of the Arabic language?
So here the prophet said, do not drink
in one goop
like a camel,
but
in 2 or 3.
Take the blast,
drink, remove it. Don't breathe while you are
drinking.
And then he said, mention the name of
Allah,
in your thinking.
And praise him after you have finished drinking.
Do we do that, my dear brothers and
sisters?
You are very thirsty,
and you get this cool
cold drink.
And after and you after
you drank,
your thirst is quenched.
Say
This is a blessing. This is namah
Deserves to
be thanked.
Was,
with his,
I mean, entourage,
his,
close friends. They went to the countryside,
like,
hunting,
and it was summer.
And when he came back to the tent,
so he asked
for water.
So one of the,
he wanted to give
to him.
A reminder.
So we he asked for the water, so
the sheriff is handing over the glass to
the Khalifa, to Harun al Rashid.
And imagine now, Harun al Rashid is thirsty,
so he wanted to take the glass, and
the Sheikh
withheld it.
He kept it.
He said, yeah,
How much will you pay for this
drink? How much?
He said half of my kingdom.
Half of my kingdom I will pay.
He said,
Okay? Enjoy your drink.
After he finished his drink, he asked him
another question.
He said, oh, I mean,
imagine this amount of water you just
drank,
but trapped in your
body.
Trap
in your blood cell.
So it's not coming out.
It's not coming out.
And then a doctor came, and he said,
I know the medicine
that if you take it,
this water will come out, that you'll be
able to
have water.
How much are you going to pay for
it?
He said half of my kingdom.
The chief told
him, oh, Khalifa,
Your kingdom is gone.
A glass of water
to
be gulped in
and to come out.
Just glass of water.
In,
out, the whole kingdom.
For glass of water to push your thirst,
you give half of your kingdom.
And
for it to come out, you give the
other half. What can you do with this?
This shows, my dear brothers and sisters, how
weak we are.
How weak we are.
Human beings
are weak
and they are ungrateful to Allah
So Allah
If you try to count
Allah's
bounties
on you, you'll not be able to enumerate
that.
We eat
and the food comes out easily.
You drink
and the waste comes out easily,
alhamdulillah.
And you don't thank Allah?
You don't consider these blessings
deserve to be
thanked? Subhanallah.
Subhanallah.
At the whenever he responded to the call
of nature
and he came out,
he would wipe over his tummy and he
would say,
What a blessing.
A few only who thank Allah for that
blessing.
This is the blessing.
So when you
come out, you sound
So that's why the prophet said, do not
blink like a kernel.
Take 2 sips,
then say
and then
Also,
when you start your
when you start your you say
You make the
That's why it is better
that
you take
not in the toilet.
If you have a basin, take your out
and perform
the
to avoid mentioning Allah inside
the toilet.
Because the prophet
said
This is negating
My dear brothers and sisters,
I encourage you to study Arabic, to
study Arabic, to study grammar.
This is negating
It negates
either the perfection
or the validity.
And this negating,
it can be followed either by a noun,
like this case here, it is a noun,
or present
tense.
There's another type of which is called and
that will be only followed with the
or present tense. So here, I just wanna
do the noun, so it is and
not here, the negating And
this is the
which is negates
the genus,
the whole
genus
of,
deities.
So
will do Allah.
The meaning, there's no salah,
no prayer.
For whoever does not have wudu.
Naturally,
if you don't have wudu,
because the key of the salah is the
wudu. So there is no wudu,
no salah.
Because the wudu
is shut
is the prerequisite
for the validity
of the salah.
So in o w of salah,
to be valid, you should have.
You cannot start playing without.
Of course, the wudu, you have to use
the water.
And in the absence of the water, So
no prayer, for whoever does not have wudu,
this is the first part of the hadith.
Hadith. And no
for whoever does not mention Allah's name.
So you have to mention
Allah's name when you start your, you say
So this is
another example when we use the and
mention
Allah's
name. Another
occasion where you mention
the Basmala,
and this is before
fulfilling one's biological
needs.
So before approaching
your partner,
you make the.
The prophet
said,
if anyone of you,
k, when he approaches
having
intimacy
with his,
says in the name of Allah,
This is before
the
taking any actions,
you have to make the to
make the
and this is very important.
For Allah,
protect us
from Satan
and also protect what you
grant us. That means
the progeny,
the children
from Satan.
And if it is distended
that they should have a a child,
then Satan will not be able to harm
the child. This is a
and Muslim.
So this is another
example where you say
the.
Always.
So
when you are approaching,
coming to your partner,
say the drop.
Say this drop.
Also,
when you enter your home, when you enter
your house,
when you enter your house,
you say,
Not that you enter your house
hitting the the gate with your
foot,
slamming the door,
shouting,
where's the food?
Yeah. You're a Muslim.
So the etiquette,
when you enter your house,
you mentioned a last name.
So if a person mentions the name of
Allah
upon entering
his home
or eating
because now when you enter your house and
you say, miss, mala,
they say, oh,
there's no place for us to spend tonight.
And when you say, mala, before you eat,
they say also,
no dinner tonight.
So if a person mentions the name of
Allah upon entering his house
or eating,
says,
telling his followers,
you will find no way to spend the
night and no dinner.
Good night.
Okay?
Which means if you don't take it to
my lap,
wow.
They are happy, rejoicing.
We can spend the night in his house.
And imagine your house,
you have guests
and they are because
the worst guests on the face of the
globe.
And if they actually are being in your
home,
the
is less,
the is less,
evil will be more,
problems,
in the family
because
the house is full of shayateen.
And there are many houses of Muslims full
of shayateen.
Now if you hear the site, music,
the walls
all over, they have pictures
of living things
or statues.
And the prophet
So the angels of mercy, they don't enter
the house
that has pictures
or dogs.
So they say
rejoice
if you don't
say
the
And
you will just say
before eating.
That was also they want.
Say good
accommodation
and meal.
You can spend
tonight
in this house.
Also, by the brothers and sisters,
you say, the
when
you leave your home
in the morning, you have gone to duty.
When you step out,
Say that. Say the drop.
This is my dear brothers and sisters,
let us
fulfill
this
and actualize
the the happy the the
in our life.
Become true servants of Allah.
True
servants of Allah.
My life, my prayers, my sacrifice,
my dying,
all for Allah.
So that's the meaning of Ibadah, my dear
brothers and sisters,
247.
You are in the state of Ibadah.
You are in the state of Ibadah.
From the moment you open your eyes, you
are in state of and you pray praise
Allah
That's what you say.
All praises
Who gave us life after we were dead?
After we were dead?
So this is the.
You are in this,
cycle
of 247.
And that's what the means in
the that all your life is a reminder,
not only
the 5 prayers.
So here,
if anyone of you,
when he leaving his home, says
Bismillah
in the name of
Allah. I trust in Allah.
There is no power,
no mind except Allah.
Your needs shall be fulfilled.
They shall be and they leave you. Say
okay.
Okay?
You are protected,
and you will be surpassed.
No one can't harm you.
Your needs shall be fulfilled.
You shall be saved from difficulties,
hardships.
Satan hearing these words,
in the shape of heart hears this,
he leaves you.
Also,
when we slaughter animals,
Subhanallah,
I saw a clip.
The man,
he brings the animals,
and he calls and yeah. He reads on
them.
The animal sleeps.
So when you going to slaughter the animal,
and if someone will argue, maybe this guy
is,
doing other things.
That is not the the point.
So when we slaughter the animal,
we say,
And if someone leaves
mentioning
the,
then that meat cannot be eaten
if you leave it intentionally.
The we know that when he made the
the
He sacrificed
2
horned
rams
of white color
with
black
markings on them.
And he said
the narrator, the Sahami said, I saw him
sacrificing them
with his own his own hand
and saw him placing his foot on the
sides and recite it in the name of
Allah
and glorified him.
So this is also
the occasions
when we mention the name of Allah and
use the.
Also, in the
in
the k?
The prophet
said,
struggle
in the name of Allah
and in the way of Allah.
Also,
before
entering
the TriNet.
The
prophet
said
the companion described that. He said
This
is authenticated
and checked.
And
So when you enter the toilet, you should
say,
I seek protection
to you subhanahu wa ta'ala,
from the and
the.
And these are
the male and female
gene,
the male and female genes.
Also, my dear brothers and sisters,
when
the night falls,
and this is frustrating for the parents.
So when the night falls,
you'll not let your children to play outside.
Let them to enter the house.
Because
at this time, between Magalim and Risha,
the jinn, they became very active,
very active.
So that's why the prophet
told us to stop our children
to play at this time.
Then he told in
the same hadith
after certain
hour,
then he said he can't let them. And
then he said,
release them and close the doors and mention
Allah's name. So now when you enter your
house, say, close your door, lock the door,
and say,
You cannot open the door. The and
are very
weak, very feeble.
They have not the power to open the
door that is locked
when you and and last name is mentioned.
So they will not be able be able
to open a closed door.
So don't be afraid of the They are
so
weak.
Then they said,
that means the,
water skins.
Okay?
Close their mouth
and say. Cover
your utensils, your containers,
and say.
If there is food
in a utensil in the kitchen,
cover it and say.
The whole gin
cannot
remove the lid.
And the prophet said,
if you don't have a lid or cover,
put anything like a straw
over it. Let's say, and
the gym cannot come close to it.
Cover them by placing something across it.
Then he said,
and turn off your lights and extinguish your
lamps
before going to sleep.
Or if there are candles,
put them off.
Don't go to sleep
because that is unsafe.
This is what our dean teaches us.
And lastly,
when we lower the body of the deceased
into his grave or heart grave
also.
So when
we lower the body into the grave,
we say.
So when you are lowering the disease in
the grave,
you say, in the name of Allah,
and in accordance
to the sunnah of the of
Allah
May Allah
grant us
the. May Allah
grant us the understanding of the deen.
May Allah
increase our knowledge in the deen and may
Allah forgive us our false mistakes, and signals,
and may Allah
keep us remain
steadfast on this beautiful deen
till we meet him, and he is happy
and pleased with all of us, Ameen.
And may Allah
reward all of you all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
for your patience and attendance.
Can we take questions inshallah?
Inshallah, isn't it?
The lot of brothers and sisters saying thank
you. Really beneficial
session.
Many, many sending comments.
We will now inshallah sweep through them and
ask
the questions that are coming through. Once again,
brothers and sisters,
those who are with us on Facebook or
YouTube,
we only take question and answers on our
Zoom sessions here.
And as for anybody who,
has to miss a session for any reason,
these are immediately,
these lessons are immediately up on Facebook and
YouTube without any delay. Reason you have to
catch up, please do so and ensure that
you are committed for every session. Zach Mullah
here. So we'll take the first question.
The first question, Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh.
Sheikh, what is the difference between Shafa'a
and Istilafa?
Okay.
Shafa'a
intercession.
Intercession is called Shafa.
You ask Allah, Allah
to grant
the prophet the to
intercede
on your behalf on the day of resurrection.
And this is the
is intersession.
Of course, the,
there are different forms and different many forms
of shafa'ah.
The highest one is
Allah
himself.
He
forgives
those who are already in the hellfire
and to ask the Malaika to bring them
out.
The prophet
intercedes
on the day of resurrection,
and that is Maqam al Mahmoud.
The messengers, the prophets, the marchers,
the children who die before reaching the age
of puberty,
they make shafa and they intercede
for their parents.
So that is the shafa.
But this shafa
and to be granted the
the permission to intercede
on one's behalf,
that will not be given if Allah is
not pleased
for the one
whom for whom the intersession
is sought.
And intersession cannot be given without
no one will intercede
without Allah's permission. No one. Even the.
We know that on the day of resurrection,
the people, they want
a lot to stop the, his heart, the
reckoning
because people are suffering,
sun above their heads, people are sweating,
some are drowning in their sweat.
So they start approaching
the messengers and prophet, and
each one
is
saying,
myself myself go to so and so, go
to so and so until they reach the
When
the is
approached,
he would not intercede immediately.
What he would do, he would prostrate
before Allah
And
Allah
would bestow on him
many places
and duas that he didn't
know before.
And he would prolong
the sujood before Allah,
till Allah is saying
Now Mohammed asked,
and your ask will be answered.
Whatever you ask will be granted to you.
And intercede,
and your intercession will be accepted.
So that is the shafa.
Whereas
to seek help
to seek help,
to seek the mouth,
the help,
assistance.
That is the meaning.
And
keep this in mind, my dear brothers and
sisters,
in the Arabic language,
when you come across this
means to seek, to ask.
Means he is asking
and seeking aid.
He
is asking for rachma.
He is asking for
help, house.
Now
whose help and assistance
assistance
can be sought
to seek Allah's help.
It's a study 2 and a half back
home Allah said about the Muslims on the
day of battle.
In the day of battle, we all know,
or many of us at least,
to be more precise,
know that
the Muslims came out from Medina
not to fight the Mushriks,
but to
confiscate the caravan
of.
That's it.
So they were not ready for
military confrontation
with.
They just heard
that the Taliban
of is passing by
Medina
through Medina,
So they decided to confiscate
it to compensate
for
the their money, their wealth that Boris confiscated
in Mecca.
But Abu Sufyan,
by then he was not a Muslim became
a Muslim leader.
Very smart.
When he reached Badr, the wealth of Badr,
he reached there
before the Muslims reached before him,
and there was an ambush
waiting.
So when he reached,
he saw droppings of the animals.
So he took one dropping
of the cow a horse and crushed it
in his finger,
and he found inside it
seeds
of gait.
So immediately, he calculated and concluded
Muslims are around here. So he came the
route of the caravan
and managed to escape. And he sent someone
to a foreign place, and the rest is
history as you know.
And now for race came,
an army and the Muslims are not ready
for that.
They wanted only the Karabakh,
and now they are in direct confrontation
with the
Kufar,
with the competitors, with the
army of
Oleg, competitors on the hand, al Aqsa.
So here, what to do? Handfuls of Muslims.
All the Muslims, handfuls.
They will be wiped out.
So here, the prophet
turned to Allah,
crying,
crying, crying.
So much so that his cloak fell many
times. Said
prophet of
Allah. Allah will not deserve. The prophet,
he's looking at the Sahaba, and he's saying
to Allah,
if this group of Muslims
are
wiped out,
you will never be worshiped.
So Allah heard that.
That
crying to Allah,
seeking
his assistance and help,
Remember when you were making a sithraatah,
seeking Allah's help,
and Allah responded
and sent the angels to fight along with
the Muslim.
So
to seek Allah's help,
this is okay, permissible.
To seek
help from a human being who's alive, who's
next to you, who can help you, that
is also permissible.
Musa Al Isfala
in Egypt.
1 of the Israelites
was
troublemaker,
so he was fighting with an Egyptian.
Then he searched
Musa's head.
Help me.
Musa Alai Salam was very
strong,
very powerful,
very strong.
So he pushed the Egyptian
and the man fell dead.
So that was the strength of Musa Alai
Salam.
When he
reached the,
you know, that the well of,
Badriyan, and he saw the 2 girls of
tribe.
And he approached them as as you know,
he approached them.
And he said, why are you
staying away? And we are waiting for the
man to leave, then we will
give water to our,
sheep.
So he looked. He saw another well
with the cover. So he went to that
well. With just one hand, he left the
lid, and he threw the bucket,
gave water, and we know the rest of
the story.
So to seek help from someone who can
help you,
it is permissible.
But to seek help
from the dead,
dead,
to come to the grave,
to come to the grave
of a holy
man, of a saint,
I'm asking this dead person
to help you. That's your shift.
This is Tiradah.
It's shift.
And it is a major shift.
And that's why,
you
will enjoy,
these classes
because they talk about the jufid.
May Allah may Allah
elevate the status of
Muhammad I mean
He is teaching us
these basic things
about our deen,
the
tawhid. I read just,
a brother sent me
a message
on the WhatsApp.
The common man common man in Saudi Arabia.
In common man, layman
who who knows that your aid can defeat
scholars.
Common man.
And then the study goes, a woman was
in Egypt
Egypt
for, medical treatment, seeking medication.
So someone told her,
here we have Al Hussein, Al Hussein,
the grandson
of the prophet.
You can go and ask him, go to
his grave.
See, this woman, this old lady
who blow up on the tail head on
the old plaza.
She say,
we have
the prophet himself in Medina,
the grandfather of the Hussein,
and we don't ask him. We ask Allah.
Yes.
Yes.
This is the.
Another layman,
they told him
that the only
Allah said about that, about the
that they are alive. They are here.
The martyrs,
they are alive
with the and
the prophet
explained that to us. He said, they sold
the life of the
their souls
are carried by green birds in the Jannah.
That's the life of
the So this,
Muhed old man, he said Allah said,
use the phone. The shuhada, I've provided
use the phone
in the passive form, not active form.
Your Someone
provides for them, and that's Allah.
Allah did not say that the masters,
those who are alive,
they provide.
Don't you see the difference between
and The
one who there's there is only Allah subhanahu
wa
ta'ala.
So
the
to seek help and assistance
from the dead, this is shirk. This takes
one out of the fold of Islam, and
it is a major shirk. May Allah
guides the Muslims,
guides those who
are
practicing
these polytheistic
acts, Amin.
Is this clear to the customer?
I mean, very
clear details.
Okay. So next question is,
when entering the bathroom,
should we recite Bismillah
in our heart?
Also,
is it permissible to mention Allah's name in
the bathroom?
Before that, you can say Bismillah as mentioned
in the hadith before entering, but inside avoid
it.
Avoid uttering the last name inside.
Yeah.
Okay.
I want to ask, if I want to
recite Quran in my mind outside prayers just
during the day or waiting
at the bus and so on, do I
have to move my tongue too?
Same for Vicky, or just in my heart
and mind is rewarding?
Reading in your mind
without
uttering, without moving your tongue, it's not reading.
It's not reading.
So recitation or reading, you have to articulate
the letters
and the
tongue has to move.
You have to utter it, articulate.
That is the meaning of the.
Just to have it in your mind, that
is not reading.
Is this clear?
Very clear, Sheikh.
How long is it permissible to be away
from your spouse before the marriage becomes void?
For example, is it permissible to be away
from each other for more than 6 months?
Is there a reason?
They didn't state if there is. But,
the husband is, working in another place,
so he will be able only to come
after 6 months, and they agreed on this.
And the, the spouse,
the, his wife,
can many
wait for that?
There there is no because,
this was his sunnah,
his practice.
This is the of He
said he used to
he had 2 black lines on his cheek,
always crying, crying.
The tears may tap on his cheek.
And he used to say,
woe to me, woe to you, Amal.
If you sleep during the day, you will
lose your subject.
And if you
play sleep at night, you will lose yourself.
What can I do?
So he used to
take a tour at night,
listening. Maybe someone
now at home,
he feels free.
He talks about Roma
because he could not reach Roma
or has the courage to talk to her.
So to his surprise,
he heard the woman
talking to herself.
The night is so long,
and I am bored.
And my mate is not with me.
She's talking to herself,
longing to have her husband.
Her husband went for jihad.
And then she said,
had it not because of the fear of
Allah,
this bed would have been shaken. That means
I would have committed
zina haram
of the fear of Allah.
When Rama heard that,
he was moved.
And he went to his daughter,
Hassel.
Said my daughter, help your father.
Help her.
Tell
me, how long can a woman
wait without her husband?
She put in Paris. He said, help your
father.
I am now responsible for the and
the woman of the Muslims.
He said 4 months.
So immediately, he issued a decree
for the.
After 4 months, come back.
So 1 month going, another month coming, and
the 4 months is staying
there. But it can be less than that.
It depends on the
how she feels.
And this, they can be discussed and agreed
upon mutually
between the,
husband and wife.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes.
The next question, Sheikh, is,
can we say before
eating?
We use our left hand to take food
from center plate as our right hand is
untied in in gatherings.
What is the ruling on this?
When you eat, you say,
You don't add anything.
You see, my dear brothers and sisters,
this deen
is not left to us to,
to keep add to it.
What the prophet
did, you just follow him. You say this.
And this reminds me of what
said to a man.
A man was sitting next to
and then he sneezed.
The man sneezed.
We know that when you sneeze, they say,
and the one who hears you
send tells
you.
And then you reply,
So this is the sunnah.
So the man said
and he added
So what did he add?
Immediately.
He said,
all of us will make salah upon the
But
But this is not the way the prophet
told us
after sneezing
just to say a hand to him. So
just follow
the footsteps
of the prophet
said. Like in the,
when you say
some Muslims, they add
or shukr.
Where did you get this shukr from? Leave
it.
And they would argue, I cannot
say shukr to Allah.
No.
It's not like that.
The said,
pay as you have seen me pay.
Why you are not following him?
A man,
say to say to say to say
to say to say to say he saw
a man
playing
after
Hassel.
We all know that
no after Hashem.
So he stopped him. He said, don't play.
The man was rude
rude.
He said, Allah will cast me to Jahannam
because I pay.
He said no.
No.
Allah will not cast you to *
because you are paying, but he will cast
you to * because you disobey his prophet.
His profit is telling you not to pay,
and you are paying and
insisting
to do so.
So just follow the sunnah.
Don't add
anything.
The product did this, just follow its footsteps.
This is our deal.
Otherwise, this is how the innovations that has
came into the deal. Everyone is adding, adding,
adding.
Is this clear to the questioner?
No.
My children say
when they enter the house
even if there is no one at home.
Is this authentic?
Yes. It is.
When you enter, say.
Next.
Is it permissible to say
for each morsel during eating?
No. No. There's no problem to thank
to
say.
But,
not everyone will be able to do that.
Next.
My family are Christians, but, alhamdulillah,
are respectful
before we start to eat.
Is it okay for me to say, Bismillah,
eat the food
Yeah. He's he's
that is his deal, so he is praising
Allah
And he said, Bismillah,
that will not make the the food haram.
No.
Not make the food haram.
Because now, yes, at the table, he is,
praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, oh, according
to his relief to a Isa, which is
shipped, of course.
But that is his belief.
But the food, if it is,
I mean,
meat and the meat is slaughtered and it
is halal meat, that will not become halal
for you.
Is this clear to you?
This is clear, Sheikh.
This is referring to the question about the
husband and wife that have not been together
or follow-up on that.
Referring to the last question, if the couple
do not have relationship,
physical relationship for more than 5 years,
and both of them are okay with that,
and they share everything else in the way
every married couple do. Is there sin upon
either of them, a wife or the husband?
They are living together, but no physical contact.
Right?
Yes. I believe that's what this question is
saying. It's another question.
I have a very same question, actually. But
because how do you fulfill their biological needs?
This can be understood if they are advanced
in age,
but this can be understood. But if they
are young,
so how do they fulfill their biological needs?
But, anyway,
if
they decided
and none of them is committing harm,
it's, it's left to them
because it is not,
I
mean,
obligatory,
though they are for how they say at
least at least once a month
in each minister after each minister cycle,
a husband has to,
approach his partner.
But this is very same question.
So if they've been happy with that,
that is,
their method.
Is this clear?
Respected
for your beautiful detailed lecture about
the. May Allah protect, preserve, and keep you
and in all of us steadfast in the
deen. Amen.
I just want to ask if a Muslim
is living in a non Muslim country in
which meat is not Islamically slaughtered,
what should the Muslim do?
If the meat is not slaughtered,
so it is fully dead
executed.
So it is dead animal.
We cannot eat dead animals.
Dead animals are made unlawful
for you
with them and blood, etcetera, a certain.
But if
the animal is slaughtered
by the people of the scripture,
Jews or Christians,
and especially the Jews,
they
cut and slaughter and the the,
the the knife, it has to be very
sharp,
then you can
eat that meat and you mention Allah's name.
And that is when the hadith of the
prophet
was asked
people, they send us the meat, and we
don't know whether Allah's name was mentioned or
not. He said you mentioned Allah's name, and
you eat. Providing that the animal was slaughtered.
But if we are sure the animal was
not slaughtered,
so it is dead,
then you cannot eat it.
And it is not
it doesn't follow.
But I am here, the number said, the
animals, the ones that are slaughtered.
No. I think ibn al Arabi, alham Allah,
say even
if that is his food and if the
animal was strangled
and that is what they eat, then it
also halal. No. No. This is a weak
opinion.
Dead animals?
Muslim cannot eat the dead animals. It's totally
prohibited.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes, chef. Very clear. JazakAllah
here.
Next question, assalamu alaikum, chef. JazakAllah here for
sharing your teaching, and may Allah bless you
and your family.
In the UK, many students take loans out
from the government to study at university.
After their course is over, students are required
to pay these loans with interest until they
have paid it all off
or for the next 30 years until the
loan company cancels
the repayment.
My question to you is,
which would be better to do? Try to
pay off the loan and interest as soon
as possible to prevent further building the interest,
which is usually £30,000
plus interest,
or let the 30 years lapse
where you wouldn't pay
as near to the amount a student may
borrow?
Now
I think,
the,
those who gave the factual, they looked into
this matter and consider this as a necessity.
K?
I'm just
telling you their argument.
So and the
the students has no other option except this
one.
So if that is the case,
then this is
gain debt
on the student.
So the moment you
start working,
start saving
and clearing this debt.
The sooner, the better.
Because it is debt on you.
And even if you die, I don't know
whether they forgive you of your die. Do
they forgive you of your die
or the, your family, they have to pay?
Do they forgive you?
I'm asking for this piece of information. Anyway,
if they don't forgive the person
or if they forget,
while you are alive, this is death on
you, so clear it
as soon as possible.
For teaching us, Sheikh. I want to know,
please tell me how to do Dua and
Sujood.
Like, should we say praise Allah in 1
Sujood, then in the next say salat,
then our dua, or should we say our
dua in every sujood from the first rakat?
In the sujood,
after saying
and
you want to sublocate and
pray to Allah,
you can do so in every side that
you like.
That is
That's the closest you can be to your
load.
So you can praise Allah.
Of course, you praise Allah's hand other than
you mention what you want.
There's no harm,
We know that Allah is above the 7
heavens over his throne.
What does he is at is closer to
your
Afon?
We know that Allah is above the 7
heavens over his throne.
What does
he is closer to you than your jugular
vein mean?
It's It's
this is, this is,
Allah's power.
Yes. He is very close to us,
though he is above his
mighty throne.
And this willingness,
which is the is
with us
by knowledge,
though he is outside his creation.
But also,
this willingness, it
it gives you,
subhanallah.
It
strengthens your iman.
If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is very close
to me
than the the vein in my neck,
I should not worry about anything.
I should rely on him, count on him.
He's very close to me.
As the prophet
said in the Dua and the one of
the Hadith,
the Sahaba
were traveling,
and you know that when you,
climb
a high place,
you say,
and when you descend, you say,
and they were raising their voices.
So the bus my fellow said said to
them,
take it easy.
The one whom we are calling upon
is not far away from you,
and he's not
deaf.
He hears you. He is closer to you
than the next of your camels.
So Allah is very close to you.
Have that feeling.
Fill the heart with the inanimate strength
like Musa, al Islam.
Now
they are trapped between the sea and the,
the army of the pharaoh.
So I'm not sure that when it was
raised, they're dry alive.
Now they see Trevor. So they have saints
of Moses.
Don't worry.
My love with me with me.
He is the one.
He is the one who protected me when
my mother threw me to deliver.
I was born in the year.
He killed the children,
and my love raised me in his
palace.
Do you think he will deserve me?
So he's going to guide me.
And immediately Allah guided him and told him
just like to see.
This is the beauty.
This is the benefit
of the Aveda.
When you know your love is with you.
The witness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
though he's outside his creation
on the market's own.
That's why.
And to
the hearts of the Sahaba, my dear brothers
and sisters.
They know along with them.
The prophet
is consoling
Abu Bakr of the law anhu in the
in the case. So the Abu Bakr states,
oh, prophet of Allah. When they look at
his feet, he would see us.
When he was telling his his
companion,
believe not.
Think about it, my dear brother and sister,
that Allah is with you.
And if Allah is with you, don't worry
about anything.
You are with the blessed.
I have a question in regards to praying
salah with gaps.
Today,
Masajid
are open, but people are praying with 3
beaters between them.
The Prophet
said, Pray as you have seen me pray,
and to close the gaps and straighten the
lines because the Shaitan
will come between you like the small sheep.
Can you please advise me as I would
like to pray in Jannah,
but I
have a hard time adjusting to this as
per the sunnah.
This
isn't anything that was done before.
Yes.
You are
right.
The Muslims
should be standing in the salah, closing the
gaps between them.
And the Sahaba, they would place their,
feet to each other,
touching each other, and also the shoulders,
and that would bring the hearts very close.
But now because the hearts are not together
and not closed,
so
each one is trying to be away from
his brother.
And
the scholar Hanafi,
he said,
Allah
turned the hearts of the Muslims
when they stopped
closing the gaps in the salah.
He deduced that from
the, state in your lines, reduce the gaps,
or other otherwise, Allah will turn your hearts.
So now if you put and try,
he runs away.
You
you should not strive to spread your legs.
Some brothers, they go to the extreme.
He's trying to
create
close the gap, so he's spreading himself
like that.
Your feet, your legs should be parallel to
your shoulder. Teach.
Fear Allah
to the best of your ability.
To the best of your ability.
This is Jahal. This is the ignorance.
And the imams, they don't teach this
to the muslime
that this is a must
to close the gaps.
What the imam does,
still
shaking your lines. That's it. He doesn't check.
But at the time of the,
no.
He would not
make the until
lions are Satan.
And
the one of his,
peculiarities
that he sees from benign. He sees the
people.
So you stayed in the minds
and closed the gaps.
But the imams, they don't do this, and
they don't teach the the congregation.
Is this clear to the question
now? So my advice on the baba, you
should not leave the because
there are gaps.
Go to the Masjid and pay.
And now because of COVID 19,
the gap is 2 meters,
and this is due
to the disease.
This is necessity.
Next question, please.
Please, we were told that the prayer we
say before entering the toilet is enough for
us to make
in the toilet because we say the before
we entered.
Most of the toilets here have both the
shower and the toilet together in one room.
So what should we do?
Okay.
I recall now, I think,
if I'm not mistaken,
and doctor mentioned
that
and, also, Sheikh Abdul Aziz
also said that
if there was no place
and,
the impurities
is gone flushed
and now only fuel, water running,
and there's no other place, and you mentioned
the basilar.
Okay? There's no harm.
Is this clear to the question?
Okay.
Assalamu alikum. I'm a revert of many years,
and have been following mainly what
our sisters have been teaching in countries such
as Saudi Arabia.
I never used to know about the different
mada'ib and always considered myself Muslim following Quran
and Sunnah.
However, in later years, I began to hear
all the various labels given people
asking,
are you
Wahhabi? Are you Salafi? Are you Hanafi, Maliki,
etc?
Is it permissible to practice our daily Ibadah
following any mix of the 4 main madahid
because they are,
after all based on Quran and Sunnah?
The answer
first of all,
don't worry about these labels.
If anyone asked you,
what are you? Say,
I'm a Muslim.
Finish.
I am a Muslim.
I am a Muslim.
Because these labels now became problematic.
I am a Muslim
following my prophet
following his sunnah.
When I come across
authentic hadith of the prophet,
I understand it, and the Ramadan explained it,
I follow it. I
avoid
innovations in the deal.
I follow the footsteps
of Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman, Ali, Sahaba.
That is my deal. And this is the
deal of every Muslim.
So I'm a Muslim.
I am a Muslim.
Now
regarding the format apps for schools,
There's no harm
if that is how well you grow up
until that matter,
and you are a common man or a
layman.
You also ask. Correct? And there's no problem
with that
at all. But
when you start learning the deal
and then you advance in knowledge and now
you become
students of knowledge and advanced students of knowledge,
then you and now you are able to
to see
what are the evidence, what are the proofs.
This is based on this hadith, and this
hadith is weak as said,
and this is the strongest thing you follow,
the strongest opinion,
because now you are able.
But for the common man,
layman,
there's no harm at all
to follow the in
his area or his locality
because that's what Allah asked them.
Ask the people of knowledge if you don't
know. He's asking the people of knowledge in
his area, and that's what they told him.
Islam is very simple. Don't make it, complicated.
Is this clear to the question?
Very clear,
the other question we have is a follow-up
to the one regarding the distance in the
Jannah and prayers.
Will my salah be accepted with these adjustments
to salah? JazakAllah Khay BarakAllah Khufik.
May Allah forgive
our sins and raise your status in this
life and in the life
to come.
Your prayer
will be accepted.
Fear Allah, you see, Allah
my dear brothers and sisters will not burden
us something we cannot bear.
Allah is telling us Fear Allah to the
best
of your ability.
Fear Allah as much as you
can. And Allah
is the most merciful, the most kind, the
most generous.
So don't worry.
Put your trust in him.
Is this clear to the person?
Very clear,
And, I believe we've reached our time for
tonight, inshallah. We don't not want to hold
you back,
since you have been,
teaching and very, very busy, and, you must
rest, inshallah, Sheikh. Allahu Barakfiq,
and may Allah bless you with your time
and your efforts.
And it was a very beautiful introduction to
the book, for all the brothers and sisters,
they are sending in messages really appreciative.
May Allah elevate your status,
and we look forward to the next, dars,
Insha'Allah.
Would you like to conclude Insha'Allah?
And,
just one thing, a small request, be patient.
Okay?
This is the day the end comes like
that.
Drop after drop.
So we should have the
and
we will,
study our deen together,
and I'm learning as well as you and
also you are learning, and we benefit from
each other. And may Allah
grant us the success, the
and may Allah
grant you also
the
and may Allah
accept our deeds and your deeds.
And may Allah reward all of you. My
dear brothers and
sisters, protection and company till we meet next
time.
