AI: Summary ©
And welcome
to our 30th lesson
of virtues of Islam with our honorable Sheikh
Sheikh Salim Al Amri. I will pass the
mic and the screen to the Sheikh Sheikh
can begin inshallah.
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today is
our weekly class.
Islam
virtues of Islam.
And today,
would be talking about
the sources
from which we
learn our Islamic
faith, our Islamic arpida.
And before we start to,
inshallah,
expounding and elaborating,
I assume that now, you know, what's the
meaning of.
The,
the doctrine
is
the creed
is that set of beliefs which you you
hold in your heart.
So, yeah, a set of beliefs,
collection of beliefs, group of beliefs,
tied firmly in your heart.
That's why it's called,
tied up.
So it is firm
from the root,
to tie a knot.
So these
beliefs are tied in your heart.
Now these beliefs,
which I have to believe and and
they relate
to the unseen,
most of them.
And the unseen, the, for example, I believe
in Allah.
Unseen.
I believe in the angels. Unseen.
K?
In hellfire, in Jannah.
Next slide.
These things,
unseen.
Right?
And there's no way
to know about the unseen
except through the regulation.
My mind cannot tell me my intellect, my
apple, my rationale, my intelligence
are deficient.
My apple is deficient,
cannot tell me
about the unseen
because the apple, the intellect,
functions and works within the
physical world.
Tangible things.
1 +1equal2.
So I know these are tangible things.
2 things to one thing plus another thing
give me 2 things.
I can see them. 1 apple plus another
apple. I have 2 apples.
So my mind, human mind functions within
the physical world, the world of physics,
tangible things, material things.
Things that are immaterial,
my intellect, the article cannot function.
It cannot tell me
because this is something beyond its scope of
functionality.
I have taken it out of its domain.
It works with only within this domain.
If I take it out, it will fail
miserably.
But if I use it within
the domain of its functionality,
it will give me accurate
answers,
precise answers, logical answers, rational answers.
But the moment I launch it
and throw it
into an area
which he is not created for,
there he the mind will be confused.
Will be confused and cannot tell me
anything
about
rather, it will be will give me nonsense,
will give me irrational
answers.
So we have to know the limitation
of the Hakim.
The
Hakim
tells me
by reasoning,
there must be a creator. The author can
tell me that.
This cosmos, this universe must have a creator
because rationally,
logically,
nothing gives nothing, and nothing
is nothing.
Nonexistence
is nonexistence. It's nothingness.
So the existence should have
a being that's broughteth into and created it.
Because this existence wasn't there, so it came
into being. So who brought it into being?
The intellect will tell me that. There must
be
there must be
a cause behind the existence of these things.
That the apple intellect can't tell me that.
That's why
the philosophers
of the past, the Greek philosophers, and other
philosophers.
Why they started talking about the metaphysical world?
Who told them there is something
metaphysics?
Who told them that?
K. Because
the tells
you there must be someone, there must be
something behind this.
This could not be brought into being
by nothing. Nothing gives nothing.
So the intellect can take you to that
step.
To that
point. There must be
creator. But then the apple will tell you,
I cannot tell you more than this.
So don't push me
beyond my limit
because I will fail, because
it's it's not my expertise.
That's not my area.
So what happened to the philosophers?
Out of their inquisitiveness,
they started guessing, speculating
about the unseen.
So each one invented his own
fancy idea,
and that's where you see the the mythology.
Gods and goddesses,
and goats are fighting,
and this god is responsible for this and
etcetera,
which is nonsense.
Why?
What happened to them? Because now
they try to push the intellect into an
area
that doesn't belong to it.
So the intellect failed miserably
and gave them
garbage.
So keep this in mind, my dear brothers
and sisters.
Your mind cannot tell you about the unseen.
The apple is
incapable
to tell us about the unseen.
So the only way
the only way to know about the right
unseen
is the one who created
this unseen,
the one who created
all
this world, all this cosmos, all this
material world,
the creator
has to tell us.
Without that, there's no way whatsoever
to know about the unseen.
And many times, I mentioned to you the
story
of the example
or the
of the limitation of the apple.
Let's say we are sitting in a room
and the door is closed,
and somebody
starts knocking
the door.
So all
of us,
those who are outside the room,
will agree somebody at the door.
So
someone would tell, okay. Have a look. Open
the door. Somebody is knocking.
All of us will agree.
Why?
All our
minds agreed. Why? Unanimously
agreed. Why?
Because this is something material.
Somebody knocked
the door.
The air vibrated,
made sound,
carried by the waves through the air,
reached my our eardrums.
The eardrums vibrated.
Signal is sent to the brain. The brain
interpreted the signal,
telling our somebody at the
door.
And it's very true.
But now
because that is within the domain of the
apple,
within the material
circle,
tangible world, physical world, So the apple
functions.
Now let us push the apple outside its
domain
by imagining the one at the door, imagining
the one who is knocking.
What do you think?
Are we going to have
the same answer? Are we going to agree
unanimously
like we agreed in the first in the
beginning? No.
Because now everyone
will have his own
mental
picture. Some will say, he's a man,
boy, girl, woman,
dog,
different answers.
Why?
Because the intellect, our minds the mind is
telling us, guys,
please do not push me into an area
I don't know anything about it.
I have no input.
So what I'm going what you are going
to get from me
is nonsense,
And we will start speculating.
Someone will say, here's this. Here's that.
And the simplest answer
to know
the one who is knocking is to ask,
who is it?
Not to start.
Speculating.
Oh, you are so and so. No. You
are a man. No.
So the best thing is to ask, who
is it?
What do you want?
And to let him tell you about himself.
Not that you
try to guess
and describe
the knocker when you don't see the knocker
because that is
irrational
behavior
to to think in that way.
So now, my dear brothers and sisters,
when our minds are incapable
to tell us who is at the door,
Can our minds tell us what is beyond
this world?
What's beyond the heavens?
What's beyond
these these cosmos?
Definitely,
the answer, no.
So what is the way to know about
that scene?
Only way
that the creator
of that scene, out of his blessing,
tells us
about it.
Just in the same way you ask the
to tell us all about himself.
So the creator who created this whole
kingdom,
these cosmos,
tells us about the unseen.
So he tells us there is Yanna. There
is heaven,
*, angels,
dream,
all these things.
Keep this in mind, my dear brothers and
sisters.
So
in Islam,
the sources of the Islamic al Qaeda
from which we did use and learn
and build our belief,
only 2 sources.
The why, the revelation. One source, a revelation,
which is
2
parts. Actually, 1, a revelation,
2 parts.
The Quran and the Sunnah.
Quran and the Sunnah.
Anyone
comes
and talks about things related to the unseen
without producing
concrete,
explicit
evidence
authentic evidence
on the and the sunnah, he is merely
speculating.
And whatever he says
is nonsense and ridiculous
and should not be accepted
because
who told you?
We agreed.
Your mind cannot tell you this. So where
did you get it from?
So you make it up.
You concocted
this idea.
So
always,
as a Muslim,
anyone says anything.
Say,
this how the Quran teaches us.
Us. Reduce your evidence that you are telling
the truth. Reduce it.
Let us have
no evidence, neither in the book of Allah
nor in this of the prophet?
Sorry.
This is rubbish. We don't accept.
We don't accept nonsense.
Yes.
Less
than an hour, I was listening
to a talk
by Sheikh Abu Saqqal Hawaii
was explaining.
This is
a sheikh
who
a student of Sheikh al Bani,
and Sheikh al Bani
talks about him,
And Sheikh Ali Hassan Abdulhamid,
Those are his students when he was asked,
who are your successors?
He mentioned that.
2 already passed, and Sheikh Abu's heart
make.
He's sick.
So he's explaining
Sahih Imam Bukhari.
And he said,
and this is very true.
Imam Bukhari is genius,
and he perplexed
all the scholars who came after him
to understand
the wisdom behind the classification
of his Sahih,
how he classified
his Sahih
and nay the naming of the chapters
because the book Sahih al Bukhari consists of
pitah, pitah, pitah, chapters.
And the first chapter he started with. That's
why they said,
You want to know
the fiqh of Imam Bukhari? Read the chapters,
the titles.
SubhanAllah.
And Allah
made that have
as he
he created and to
make a sahih and
to understand the sahih.
Ibn Hayaf
he explains Sahih al Bukhari
in about
40 years.
40.
That's rebadi.
And he tells you why he said this,
why he said that, why etcetera.
Yes.
Imam Shirkani
when he he was asked to explain
Sahih al Bukhari, he said,
It's a hadith.
There's no hijrah after
the opening Makkah, the conquest of Makkah.
But he meant for Talbari. No hijrah after
Talbari.
Enough.
No one can bring something more than what
Ibn Hajar did to him allah.
So he
said that Imam Bukhari,
because he is genius,
he started his
The first chapter,
the beginning of revelation.
How revelation
started.
Why he started with this chapter,
with Al Wahi, the revelation?
And guess what? The last chapter in Sahih
Imam al Bukhari
is Kitab al Tawhid.
Kitab
al Tawhid.
The chapter on.
So beginning with the wahi,
ending with the tawhid.
As if Imam Bukhari is telling us,
if you want to end your life, you
want to die upon the Tawhid,
and your life will be ended with Tawhid
and die upon the wahide.
Begin your life and live your life according
to the revelation of Waha'i.
Your life should be based on the wahi
revelation
or Anil Sunnah. Nothing else.
Then
you will be treading on the right path,
and you will
die
upon the.
Because throughout your life,
you are following the way.
Allah said, the prophet said,
If you don't accept anything
outside,
not mentioned in the book of Allah.
If you could find a hadith
when you want to scratch your hair or
your skin,
look for a blue for that
and if you if you can.
So he said, if you can't find and
approve
for scratching your hair or your skin,
do so.
What he is telling us
that always
your actions
should be governed
and controlled
with the
with the revelation.
Allah said, the prophet said.
Even to the extent if you want to
scratch,
because scratching your skin,
it's a normal action.
What the * do you have? Reminds that.
There is proof for it.
There's evidence for it,
which
is
to
get rid of the
harm. Get rid
of the harm.
That's all.
So when you scratch,
you have a problem with your skin. There
is something
or something.
Gandalf in your hair. You are scratching.
So you
scratch because there is something,
and the sharia allows you to do that.
That's why even during the head,
scratching
is allowed.
Even if you scratch and
something,
blood or something comes out.
So what Imam Shafi'a
Allah Sa'uri meant
that live your life
according to the way,
to what Allah said and the prophet
said.
That's why he
started
his sahi with
the book of Revelation.
And then the book, the sahi,
by Kitab I Tawhid.
So he said,
live according to the revelation,
and then
by Allah's grace,
you will die upon the.
But if you live your life not according
to the revelation,
no way to die upon the.
You live your life with
following your own ideas,
following
the sayings of the philosophers,
Elmer Kalam,
influenced
by the Greek philosophy,
you are not living your life
according to the way.
And that's why
Allah
because he knew
those who
indulge into.
Their intention,
they were sincere. They were looking for the
haqq,
but
they didn't
tread on the path of,
which is the the way of the prophet
and his companions.
But because of their sincerity,
Allah granted them good ending towards the end
of their life.
And they mentioned in one of the talks
and many most of them died.
They said, Imam,
Ghazali
died while reading Sahih Imam Bukhari.
Though,
when you
read most
many of his works, like, which
is very
dangerous book.
Yes. There are good things in it. And,
they
extracted the good things, and they left
the the remaining.
So if you want
to have a copy, get the the
summarize
and the one that is checked and extracted
from,
like,
by
etcetera.
For example, if you read in
and he talks about the karmat of the,
there he mentioned
about one of the saying,
Looking at the face of Abu Yazid al
Bustami is better than seeing the face of
Allah 70 times.
What's
more than this?
So
but because he was sincere
and the is
full
of fabricated
hadith and weaker hadith.
Because he Imam Ghazali
was not a Muhadis.
That's why in half of al Iraqi, he
checks and
mention the hadith and their authenticity.
But because of his sincerity,
Allah
granted him good ending.
The same thing, Al Razi,
k, the founder of the Ashari,
the new
Ashari
school.
Because their first founder, Abul Hasan al Ashari,
he
repented,
and yet
they follow
his teaching which he
left
and followed
the,
the way of the salaf, and he said,
I am following
in his way.
And he wrote 2 books,
and
So towards the end of his life, he
regret it.
And then he said
the best way to know about
the,
about the, about the truth, about the
names of Allah, the
of Allah is to read the Quran.
He said, I read regarding
the
negation, regarding the negation of the negative attributes.
And I read regarding the affirmation,
the same
negated and affirmed.
So this is the Quranic mythology
methodology.
And Lazi,
when he was
at the end of his life, discovered this
fact.
Same thing,
Same thing,
He was crying when he was dying,
saying,
May your mother lose you all.
You put yourself
in went into an area where
the scholars warned you.
I
am ruined. I am
destroyed
if Allah
not
encompass me not in his mercy.
Here, I die upon the
the belief of the old woman of.
I die
upon the,
upon the belief of my mother and my
grand grandmother
and all.
Those women who have the fitra.
K.
So our Islam, my dear brothers and sisters,
our
belief, Quran,
and.
Nothing else.
So Imam Bukhari,
he started with the telling you,
always follow the revelation.
What the Quran says, what the hadith says,
nothing more than this.
Then
and only then
you will be granted god ending,
and you will die upon this.
So the sources of the
my dear brothers and sisters
is the Quran, the Wahi, which gives 2
parts,
the Quran, and the sunnah.
And this
deen,
which Allah chose for us, if we follow
it, only we need to follow it,
not to add anything to it. Maintain it,
and it is.
Don't add anything to it. It's so beautiful.
Just follow it. Understand it as the prophet
explained this deed to his companions,
and
they explained it to their students, tell it
to
us
because it is perfect,
complete.
So no need for you Muslims
to add anything to your deen.
All these additions
are unacceptable
and will be rejected.
Allah will not accept them because
Allah
always keep this in mind.
He created us to worship him.
But he wants us to worship him in
a particular way.
So he explained to us how to worship
him
by sending
all models,
the prophets and messengers.
And for the,
the final role model example, the uswa is
Muhammad.
So we need to
learn from him,
the d, harisot sallam,
and follow his footsteps.
Anyone
doesn't want to follow and walk behind the,
he
will end up in the hellfire.
You want to enter the Jannah? Follow him.
Walk behind him,
One of the mashaikh
said,
if you want to enter the Jannah before
the prophet
you will never enter the Jannah
beforehand.
If you want to enter the Jannah simultaneously
with him, you will never enter the Jannah.
You want to enter the jannah, walk behind
him.
So he explained the deal
to us,
delivered the deen completely.
He didn't hide anything
at all.
Though many Muslims indirectly,
they are
they are
accusing their prophet
that he did not deliver the message,
though they don't know
that this what
will be understood from their
statements when they are saying,
good innovation in the deed.
So when they are saying this is a
good innovation, that means the dean is in
need of it
is in need of it.
So if the dean is in need of
it,
it means it is incomplete
incomplete.
If the deen is incomplete, why Allah is
saying it is complete, that means the prophet
he hid part of it.
So he didn't deliver the message.
So you are accusing your own prophet
that he did not deliver the message.
Keep this in mind.
So Allah
completed the deal.
So you we just we have to follow
it.
So Allah
says in number 3.
So this day,
I have perfected your religion.
Perfected it. Just perfect.
So if it is perfect, finish.
Completed my blessing,
bounties,
favors upon
you.
And have chosen
for you
Islam as your deen, your
religion, your way of life.
This aya, a you came to say, no.
I'm not even a kaftab, and he said,
oh, commander of the faith.
In your book as an eye, had that
verse came down upon us community of the
Jews, we would have celebrated
that day and have taken it as a
day of.
He said, which I he mentioned this.
Said, Nur Ahmed said, indeed, it came down
on the day of 8, on the day
of Arafa,
while the was
delivering
his speech.
So
Allah, my dear brothers and sisters, completed the
diphaz.
So if it is complete,
as Allah said, and it is complete,
And the prophet
delivered. He didn't hide anything.
So stop
practicing
and doing innovations
that they are not from the.
It's. Ask yourself,
is this thing I'm doing
from the Quran and? No. So why are
you doing it?
So it's not to be in line with
the revelation.
And you want to die upon the and
you are not following the revelation?
So quit and repent
to
Allah Leave it.
As Imam Malik
Beautiful.
Saying of Imam Malik
Allah.
So
he's saying whoever.
Whoever claims that is a good innovation in
the deen,
he accuses his prophet
that he betrayed the message.
So he didn't deliver the message completely.
And Allah is saying that he
completed the day.
And the prophet on the day of Arava,
he said to the Sahaba,
did I deliver the message to you? They
said, yes. We testify.
Then he said,
You are my.
So our deen,
very simple.
Allah said, the prophet said. Nothing more than
that.
So the deen has been
completed and perfected.
So
no addition
to the deal.
Powers said,
refuting those ignorant ones who say, this is
good innovation, adding innovations
to the deed.
He said,
So the meaning,
Zaydun means the other.
So if
it is possible
in the deen, the religion of Muslims,
to act to it,
if it is permissible in the deen, the
religion
of the Muslim permissedition
and modifications.
If addition is is allowed,
then deletion also is allowed.
Then
decrement
reduction
is possible
because what's accepts
increment,
accepts decrement.
What increases,
decreases.
K. Something accept
addition.
It means it was
incomplete.
That's why it accommodates
the addition.
We have glass of water
full to the brim, add.
It will overflow. It will not take.
But but if it is half full, yes,
you can pour into it
because it is incomplete. It's not full.
So what accepts addition, the the incomplete, not
the complete.
And the big * innovations
are
additions,
new things you are adding to the deen.
So if the deen accept them, then the
deen is incomplete.
But what the prophet said,
it is possible
to add to the din of the Muslim,
then it is possible
also to delete and to remove
from it.
Kafad al Qaul. What a horrible statement.
What an ugly statement.
What a stupidest statement
to say
this is good innovation.
Add it to the deal.
Enough.
No one will be content
and subscribe
and accept
such a statement
except the ignorant.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
just follow
what Allah said
and what the prophet
said
and what his companions did.
K?
So this how the deen reach us.
Comes down
with the revelation
to the prophet.
The prophet
teaches that
revelation,
explains it
to his companions.
His companions
pass it to their students,
Taberin,
second
generation immediate followers.
The
the immediate followers
pass it to their student,
the followers of the immediate followers.
K?
And that's how the Islam teach us.
Also, Allah said, my dear brothers and sisters,
warning us
not to seek
our information
regarding
the deen
other than
the revelation.
So Allah says in Surat Al Isra,
ayat 36.
And pursue not
of which you have no knowledge.
Verily, the healing and the size and the
heart
will be questioned on the day of reckoning.
It's a very fact here.
So Allah is warning every Muslim
and telling us,
well,
do not follow. Do not pursue.
Do not speculate.
Do not guess.
You don't have knowledge?
Say, I don't know.
I
know. I learn.
Not you start to guess.
Just for.
And and half the is to say I
don't know.
I don't know.
Train yourself.
Oh,
Train yourself to say I don't know.
No.
What the people will think about me?
That's I don't know.
So you are only thinking
of your
fans,
your followers.
So you are.
You are.
So you know everything.
So you speculate.
You guess. You
because
you are not.
You don't have.
You don't have sincerity.
If you have sincerity
and,
you say, I don't know.
You don't have beneficial knowledge
because the beneficial knowledge is the knowledge that
will
build the fear
of Allah in the heart,
Bring
that will bring about
fear in the heart.
He wrote many volumes
by the name,
Lam Al Muqtayn
means the towering figures, the scholars,
who sign on Allah's behalf.
Informing
the scholars
to sign
on to behalf of Allah
when they give fatwa. You have to keep
in mind that when you give a fatwa,
you sign.
You're
talking about halal and haram.
That's why in the salah,
they used to
avoid
giving fatwa.
And don't think
when you ask questions and
the
and we I are talking about myself, very
little knowledge,
students of knowledge
that
I
I am qualified to answer. No. I am
only a conduit.
I pass to you what Dora Ma said.
That's it.
That's it. Nothing more than this.
So follow it as you should always
say I don't know.
I don't know. When you don't know.
See see the real scholars.
The people
come from every corner
to Medina
to ask him.
And you know the famous saying,
no one should dare to give fatwa
when Malik is there.
And yet,
this imam,
Baham al Awa,
a delegation
came from Al Andalus, Andalusia,
Spain
with list of questions
to asking Imam.
He answered only a few of them.
The rest, he said, I don't know.
I don't know.
So the delegation
said,
oh, in our market.
We came from Indonesia,
from Spain.
What should we tell the people?
He told them, tell them
Malik doesn't know.
It's not a big deal. I do not.
Because this is the real end.
Fear
of
Allah.
I'm not saying it.
This what Allah
owns us.
Today,
everyone gets his
station,
tunnel,
and he has
also,
many followers.
Cheap.
So whatever he says,
So
you have all over the
place.
When in reality,
the Sheikh is mister Google,
the search
engine.
So,
pursue not that which of which you have
not knowledge.
Don't dare ever
to follow something without aid,
without knowledge,
without guidance on the revelation.
Worship Allah
upon
with knowledge, with understanding.
Allah says.
First
of all, know
about your deed,
about your
lord. Whomever Allah wishes him good,
beguance him or her, and the understanding
of the
Well, I talk formally
something you don't know.
Sheikh Nazeem
mentioned in his book,
He said,
when you seek the knowledge,
the first thing you should have in mind,
your
your intention
is to get rid of your own ignorance,
Get rid of your own
ignorance
so that you can worship Allah
with knowledge.
The Alemada say worshiping Allah without knowledge like
disobeying
like disobeying.
So that's why you
need
to know your deed.
The Muslim man is a weak addition
narration,
but alaikuli muslim.
And, of course, women, they include because they
come under the name Al Isla.
So incumbent
upon every Muslim to know his deen,
to learn
what is known by the
the of the deen by necessity
to know your salah. You know your siyam.
You know your you know your Hajj. You
know?
The pillars of Islam, the pillars of faith
should know all these things. It is.
So if Allah
gives you the
because you are lucky, Allah loves you.
Allah wishes you good.
So he said,
the first thing is to get rid of
your own.
Get rid getting rid of
his own ignorance.
But 2,
to get rid of the help others also
to get rid of their own
ignorance.
So you learn the gi
to get rid of your own ignorance, then
you act on this knowledge, implement it,
then help others to get rid of of
their own ignorance by in imparting
and teaching the knowledge that you
learned
to
others.
Then
you should have also the the intention
when you are
pursuing and learning the deen to defend the
deen
to defend your deen. Because without,
you'll not be able to defend your own
deen.
You'll not be able to refute the doubters,
the liars,
those who lie about the deed.
The only way that to refute them and
to expose them
and show their ignorance
is by their aim,
by the knowledge they aim.
So my advice to myself, right, to you,
my dear brothers and sisters,
at least 2 hours a day
out of the 24 hours, 2 hours a
day
to learn
get allocated
to learn your deed,
to learn your
so
that
you follow the and the guidance.
So by a wise place, you die upon
the
So do not pursue
that
of which you have no
knowledge,
certainty.
Certainly,
undoubtedly.
In the hearing,
whatever you hear,
you should know, my dear brothers and sisters,
as
mentioned,
the ranks
of How many?
What are the ranks
of What are the ranks of the servitude?
25
ranks.
25 levels
of because there are 5 stances
and there are 5 rulings.
5 times 5 25.
So you apply the 5 rulings.
Haram, the prohibited.
Makruh, the shayd.
Farm, obligatory,
mandatory,
and recommended, and du, sunnah, and the halal.
So all these five rulings, you apply to
each one of the 5 senses.
You're hearing?
There is haram
hearing,
like music.
Songs,
backbiting,
slandering.
And
is anything
that there's no benefit in it.
Idol talk.
And that's fun
to listen to the Quran
and recommend it.
Like,
she can the knowledge
more than what is
obligatory
and learning
and listening to the and listening
or listening to
the end.
If it is not mandatory, it is obli
recommended.
And then you have
what is halal, permissible.
Conversation,
normal conversation, etcetera.
So you apply all these 5 rulings to
your hearing
and ask yourself,
is this thing Haram?
Leave it. Don't listen to it.
Gossip, backbiting, slandering,
music.
Leave
it.
Leave
it.
Do it. Listen to it. Listen to the
Quran.
Something
recommended,
listen
to it.
Something
that's
it's permissible you will not be
blamed for that.
Someone is calling you, so you
respond to the call.
So this hearing is responsible.
The same thing.
Five
rulings applied to the
to the site.
There's look, don't look.
McClure look
to look at things that
will make you feel sad. For example, to
go
and have look at the
showrooms to see new cars when you know
that you cannot buy these expensive cars.
So this affects your heart.
So why do you look at such things?
It's fun.
Look to read in the book of Allah.
That's
recommended.
It's not
as in the
to read in the Musaf.
And then there is Mandu recommended
to look at Allah's creation.
See the birds,
see the stars
in the sky.
Praise Allah. Clarify Allah.
And there is normal.
It's
okay.
So
we apply the fact this how we actualize.
This how we make the hearing.
Servant of Allah.
The sight is a servant of Allah.
The heart is servant of Allah.
In Nasama,
well,
Basarah,
the heart
the heart
which Allah
always looking at it.
And Allah is after your heart. Allah wants
your heart,
and he's seeing what is theirs.
Is it full with love of Allah? So
which Allah is prophet
and the believers and the deed?
And imam,
sincerity,
humility,
humbleness,
bravery,
generosity.
What is it for with ignoble
qualities? Cowardice,
pride,
arrogance,
miscellaneous,
stinginess.
Someone's watching this heart.
The day when neither children nor wealth will
avail you.
No one will benefit you on that day.
Your children, your wife, nothing,
except he who meets Allah
with alps and een,
pure
heart, sound heart,
hard that is full
of imam
and void of hypocrisy
and ignoble qualities.
All these
will be questioned.
What did you say? What did you hear?
What did you harbor?
What did
you
harbor
in
your
heart?
May Allah
purify our hearts and your hearts.
May Allah
grant us the beneficial knowledge.
May
Allah and the righteous deeds. And may Allah
guide all
and may Allah make us always a eye
to
the
and follow the.
And may Allah end our life upon the.
And
may Allah keep us remain steadfast
upon this beautiful deen
till we meet him.
Find him pleased with all of us,
May Allah unite our hearts in the heart,
and may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters, immensely for your patience
and
Brothers and sisters, we will be now taking
questions
and
to answering.
If you have questions, please send them in
fast so we can cover it in this
session.
We prefer that you ask questions directly on
the mic if you can.
We will begin inshallah
with questions that we have received already and,
Sheikh, if you are ready, inshallah can take
the questions.
Okay.
This is a question I'm asking on behalf
of a sister.
I stay in a joint family and they
are quite wealthy enough,
And my mother-in-law
doesn't believe in keeping a maid.
She says the ladies in the house can
do it, which is us.
There is no peace, plus there is a
lot of work
like
cleaning the huge house, washing loads of dishes,
not only husbands or kids, but everyone's,
and cook for everyone.
I asked my husband to keep a maid,
but he is saying it's our own house.
Why should we keep a maid?
That's what my mother-in-law
has taught him to.
End of the day, I get frustrated
as I have 2 kids
taking care of them, and
taking care of the whole house is a
lot.
The work is divided in all the ladies,
but still it's a lot. We are not
allowed to have our freedom too.
Please advise what can I do to attain
peace?
And, also, my mother-in-law
doesn't allow
anyone
to get their own house.
Before I answer this question,
I want
to draw the attention of my sisters.
Look at the time of the Sahara,
from the Sahabi act.
They were doing the daily
chores.
The owner of the 2 brothers,
the mother of
Abdulazizobayr
and Musa'abayr,
and the wife of Azobayr.
She would
go to the farm,
collect the date,
put it in the basket, huge basket,
put it place it on it on her
head,
and carry
it
to
the
house.
So all the wives of the Sahara, they
were taking care of their husbands,
their children,
the daily chores.
That's why I said, when
the man came complaining to him
about his wife,
Then when he reached the door of,
he heard the voice of
the wife
of shouting at him,
so he decided to go back. He said,
I'm not alone.
So now Omar Bai then opened the door.
I saw this man said, come. Come. Come.
But they said, no. Come.
He said, I need a woman. I came
to complain about my wife. I found you
have to say anything. So,
okay. I will call with it. Okay? Said,
listen. He stitches my clothes, cleans the house,
cooks for me, for my children, brings up
takes care of the children, takes care of
my mom, the horse.
So if she flares up from time to
time, I have to take it.
She's a human being.
K?
Asma,
as I told you, she would carry this
huge
basket full of dates.
Okay.
The pop star said, and one day, he
saw her, so he stopped
to help her, at least to take the
basket.
He refused.
She refused.
She carried on.
He said, I thought
about the jealousy
about my husband.
I don't want him to feel anything, though
he is the prophet of law.
Fatima,
our women, our sisters, better than Fatima,
the wife of the,
this daughter of the,
the lead of the women in the church.
She would fetch the water in those days,
the skinbags they carry.
And they grind
the the cereal,
the grains,
stone,
the mill, the grinder.
Heavy.
K. I know that.
When I was young.
K?
And she would do that, grind the
the the wheat or the corn, etcetera,
and bake, make the bread till
the her hand was full of blisters.
So
that her husband, Ali, felt pity for her,
So he told her, I heard that your
father got some slaves,
so go and ask him to give you
a slave to help us.
She went for
She
found men.
She felt shy. She came back.
This is the haya of the Musumea.
He saw women men, he left. He didn't.
Her father, Shoha. He
knows his daughter. He came for sun take.
So he visited them at night.
When they were about to sleep, they were
sitting sitting
on the bed.
The papa,
he sat between the 2.
Then he said to Fatima, yes, Fatima.
What did you come for? He kept quiet.
So Ali told him, I told her this,
to ask you for a slave to help.
What did the prophet
say? What did he say?
Oh, Ali,
how you make my daughter toil and work
hard.
Why didn't you
bring her a servant?
Did he say that?
No. He said the opposite.
To his daughter,
to Fatima.
Allah.
Then he told them that at the cars
that they should say before they go to
sleep. This is better than having the space.
Having said this,
women nowadays
are pampered.
So I need to say this.
Pampered.
Smile
it when everything is provided.
May Allah shower his mercy upon our mothers
who get up
before dawn,
making the dough.
Break the wood and put it in the
cone,
the oven.
I start baking.
By the time people got up, everything was
ready.
Unique generation.
Water, they carry the steam bags on their
bags.
Today,
water
in the house.
They open the cap.
Clothes, they used to wash with their hands.
Today,
washing machine,
dryer,
dishwasher,
Hoover,
and they complain.
Women
complain.
Because they want
many, many. I'm telling you the fact.
Her house leaves the
home
in the morning to office. He's asleep.
He didn't get up to make breakfast for
him.
So he either has to make a sandwich
for himself,
or then if in the office, he has
to ask and order a sandwich for himself.
And sometimes, maybe he would come back from
the office and she is still asleep.
Is this a wife?
Yes.
She's
only taking care of her hair,
her nail polish, and all that stuff.
Reading the magazines, not all of them I'm
talking, but I'm mentioning you the our problem.
So when the is
saying
that a woman is a
caretaker,
a shepherd
what shepherd?
Shepherd who is asleep?
Where is the care?
Where
is
the
care?
Where
is
Rin?
He looks at her.
He's pleased.
Win is away. She takes care of his
her honor,
her children, and his
wealth.
Now
coming to the question.
I agree with the mother-in-law.
There are many women in the house.
They can't
distribute
the daily charge.
There should be scheduled for them.
If the work is really
beyond the capacity
of this person,
they should cooperate among themselves
and give hand to each other and help
each other.
Okay? I'm doing the hovering. You are taking
care of the children with both the children
with 1, and all of you, you work
together.
And you will finish before
on before time,
and you will have time
for yourself. You have time for your kids
because you are putting your hands together
putting your hands together, helping each other.
Husbands
should help their wives.
She's busy. The child is crying.
Take the child.
Kill the nuggets.
Feed the child.
So
we help each other. Don't you see the
when they talk the concept of Chinese family?
Chinese family. Chinese from little one is working.
Everyone is working.
So we should help each other.
The prophet,
the prophet, he would be helping us with
the daily chores
when the adhan
is
counted,
announced
he would leave us and go to the
salah.
So the prophet
is helping them.
So roll up your sleeves, go to the
kitchen, help your wife.
And life is give and take.
So put your hands together,
and, inshallah, you will find
the barakah and Allah
will grant you
a strength.
So I'm talking to the sisters and the
brothers as well.
So help
each other. Help each other.
May Allah
give you the strength and the,
and may Allah
make things easy for you. Ameen.
Next question, please.
I
mean, next question.
Is it allowed for an employee to ask
for an advance payment before he does a
job?
Advance payment from?
Job.
So this
from the employer.
From the employer to ask him to ask
for advance
payment?
Yes. Before before, for example, the month ends
or anything of that sort. Okay. Let let's
say, okay, he is in need of for
money. So he's recruited now, signed the contract.
So he asked the boss, I am in
need. Can I re can you get pay
for me my salary in advance for 1
month or 2 months? Because I need for
that.
And then you can deduct.
And the boss agreed
without any increment. Nothing. Just good,
goodly long.
No problem with that at all.
I hope this is clear to the question.
We'll go to the next question.
I
wanted to ask a question on behalf of
my brother
whose family is preventing to get married.
He had a good proposal from a good
family, but his family became reluctant,
but they were positive for his marriage before
the proposal came.
He wanted to marry without the support of
the family.
If his parents break the tie of kinship
for this attempt, will he be sinful?
I would not recommend that he
he
he proceeds
without the consent of his parents,
so he should try to
convince them
and ask others also to help him,
to convince them.
And if their objection is based on valid
reasons,
he should listen. Maybe they know
that that family and they know the girl,
and
she's not good for you,
and they have their own reasons.
And you heard, well, these
justifications,
and they are valid
because sometimes,
as they say, love is blind. When you
love someone, you don't see the defects. But
after the marriage, oh, you discover all these
flows.
K?
But if
the
wife to be
is pious, righteous, religious,
good girl, good family.
And the parents, they just
reject because they are not from the
same country or the same clan or the
same family or
same class.
So racism.
You so you try your best, and finally,
you proceed, and and you get married without
this concept even if they are angry.
Okay? And that will not harm you at
all
because you didn't do anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong, but that is
the last thing you resort to. Try all
the
methods and attempts to convince them. And may
Allah sharpen their hearts
and make them agree
for you to
marry this girl that you want to marry.
May Allah bless you, Mary, and may Allah
guide your parents, Annie.
Next.
Next question, Sheikh. Is it permissible for a
woman to wipe over
thin socks, like pantyhose
kind of socks? They reach up to the
knees.
The,
the socks
that
you wipe over them
even if they are thin and transparent.
There's no problem with that.
Yes. Some of the,
they put conditions
for the socks that they have to be
thick like the the hoof,
the leather socks, etcetera,
but
it is baseless.
There's no evidence for that.
So how about they would wipe over their
socks when their socks were full of holes
full of holes?
So the wife offered the socks
irrespective whether they are thick or thin,
providing that you
when you put them on, you had to,
then you can wipe over them.
3 days or 3 nights if you are
a traveler, and one day and one night
if you are resident.
Is this clear to the question?
Alright. It's clear here. We go to the
next question.
Assalamu alaikum.
Sheikh, my 9 year old son
has been watching the seal of the prophet
and he gets very emotional and he's asking
why did they hate Islam so much? And
will the current war in Europe affect the
Muslims? Good
question.
First of all, my dear brothers and sisters,
we as Muslims
should have peace of mind,
have tranquility and serenity
simply because we count or rely on one
who controls everything.
Everything is in his hand.
So we would oh, we trust him,
and we know he runs his kingdom.
We know that. And nothing happens in his
kingdom
against his divine will.
And we know
that
this deen
will prevail
over everything.
We know Islam will prevail over everything.
We know the
the end will be for the righteous.
We know that we will not die before
our day,
and we know everyone will die.
And I will not die before my day,
whether it is by nuclear bomb
or car accident or COVID nineteen.
Whatever.
That is my end of my day.
So what is more important, my dear brothers
and sisters,
that we repent now,
October.
And now we are in the month of
Shaba.
Repent.
And we keep kind to Allah
to save us, to protect us.
But at the end of the day, everything
is in Allah's hand.
So you should not have anxiety,
should not have this one. There
is Allah
on top
who's watching,
Who's controlling?
Last
night,
when the reactor,
the
in Ukraine
was hit,
the whole world where
everyone is holding his heart
because of the radiation.
I was saved.
Because Allah is in control of everything.
Allah is the protector.
Allahu.
Allah defends the believers,
but we should have and
trust them.
And if you die,
I'll pass you.
Okay.
Shell landed rocket landed
on your house,
and you died.
Martyrs.
Martyrs.
No time. You are in the agenda. What
else do you want?
What else do you want?
Allah honored you,
granted you, martyred them.
In no time,
this
is honor, bloodshed.
So that's why for the Muslim, win win.
We have peace of mind.
Do not worry about anything.
The
only worry that, oh, Allah, we want to
die as Muslims,
not to die as kufar,
leaving Islam.
That's what we are afraid of.
As long as we die as Muslims,
in a state pleases you,
so don't worry about anything, my dear brother's
essence.
A peace of
mind, repent, turn to Allah.
Ibadah. This is the month of Ibadah, Shia,
Mushtaqfar,
and Ramadan is coming.
And
the protector is Allah.
I'll tell you a story
in the history
that the
Kufar were were the colonizers when they came.
The Muslims
fought them
with
simple rifles,
and they were having airplanes.
They called them flying machines.
So some of the came to the who
has various sympathizers
and
told them, you know,
those
Kufar, they have flying machines. They throw fire
from above
to scatter.
They said,
These flying machines above Allah or Allah above
them.
No. Above everything.
You don't worry because Allah is above everything.
Allah is above everything.
This is the iman Muslims that they need.
Allah is above everything.
Allah is watching.
And
they're ever living. He's watching
his kingdom.
And whatever happens to us,
we say,
So there's a wisdom behind
it. There's a wisdom behind it.
So that's why whatever happens to to the
Muslim, it is good for him.
Even the needle that picks you, it's good
for you.
So
my dear son or daughter,
sleep peacefully.
Don't worry about anything.
Just raise your beautiful small hands. Say, oh,
Allah, you are our protector.
Oh, Allah,
take care of us. That's it.
Make dua for the ummah, for the Muslims.
And this deen, beautiful Islam, as you mentioned,
will reach every corner of the world
in this
planet.
And the other hand will be for the
Islam, for the believers
That's what
Allah
promised. I hope this is clear
to
our dear questioner.
Next, please.
I like this question. We'll go to the
next question.
Regarding
speaking to the mixed target audience, Muslims,
mainly and non Muslims,
is it permissible to use the word god
instead of Allah as we have experienced that
non Muslims are often thinking
Allah is different to their god? Could you
please advise?
There's no problem to use god, the god
almighty,
the creator of the heavens and the earth.
And then if you mention the word Allah,
explain to them that Allah is means god.
The Arab Christian, they say Allah. They don't
say
anything else. They understand. They say Allah, Arab
Christians.
If you open the copy of the Arabic
bible, Allah, you'll find the word Allah.
They're using the word Allah. So
it's not popular.
So if you mention it, explain it to
them, and then
carry on using the word god almighty, thou
mighty, etcetera. No problem,
Next question, please.
Next question.
In Islam, our months begin after sunset.
So for example, 2nd of Sha'aban will be
Sunday of the Maghrib
to Monday before Maghrib.
Is that correct?
Yeah. The day in Arabic is lunar calendar.
So the day begins when the sun sets.
Yes.
The day begins when the sun sets. Yeah.
Next.
Next, we will take Abu Dio. Please ask
your question on the mic.
For the for the.
I have a question
concerning.
I I attended yesterday a funeral prayer, and,
the imam who was leading the prayer was
insisting on the number of who
was saying 5 or 9. Is that prescribed?
That is to increase the number of lines.
Yes.
The more lines you have, it is sooner.
Yes.
Okay.
And,
my second question Listen listen listen to me,
Always always let us have this now.
Develop this attitude.
Whenever we see something new for the first
time, should ask.
I will share why we have to make
money,
Rose.
He will tell you.
What is the proof? This hadith.
So we are learning.
Not because something, it is not known to
us,
so we object and start
talking about the imam.
Next question, please.
Sheikh.
And,
yesterday,
they're actually
reducing the.
That's
why I asked. Yeah. They Reducing the
and they were saying
reducing. Reducing. They said they have to keep
the sufufuf
55 or 9 sufuf. Just just
decrease the sufufuf.
No. I think, there's a misunderstanding.
The sunnah used to have as many
as possible.
And my second question is,
concerning after the burial.
I I witnessed that
people had a collective dua.
And,
of course, the there were the
Sufis.
They were
saying the and
and,
yeah. Is that, like, permissible to have a
a a collective dua after burying the Muslim?
That means,
the whole does not know. Know what? Understood.
What's the whole does today is about?
For Anand Sun?
Where is it mentioned in the Quran Anand
Sun?
The pop star tell him he buried many
of those I have. Did he make?
Yes or no?
No. The answer of course. The answer no?
Anyone says yes? Show us.
So who's the example to follow?
The prophet.
Or somebody else?
The prophet.
That's it.
So the the sunnah
the sunnah after the burial. Each one is
making dua, supplicating.
The the prophet said, and Allah is asking
Allah and pray for him to ask
this to,
grant peace
and calmness to the deceased so that he
will be able
to, answer the questions of the Malaika.
So ask for him. Steadfastness.
That's what the prophet did.
Nothing more than that.
To read Surat Yashin or Fatah, etcetera.
Is that clear to to you,
No. No. It's clear,
That's what I did. I did not follow
them.
And,
and yesterday, they were insisting upon, like,
when they buried him,
they they called people to sit down. I
didn't sit down. Like,
because I have no proof, like, why I
should sit down to
yeah. Is that
The prophet,
he sat down and
sat down. Yes.
Okay.
Yeah. But, also,
this is your benefit for all. A piece
of advice.
You see,
Muslims are practicing many innovations, many,
and we cannot get rid of them of
them overnight.
It will take time.
So so when
one attends a funeral and he finds certain,
we we should that's not the time to
make fast and to talk about it and
to give no see happy, but I'm not
ready at that moment.
That's not the right place
to talk
and to criticize or to educate.
This one has to keep quiet and leave.
Because the when
he passed by the woman who was kind
at the grave of her son,
So he told her,
see Allah.
Don't cry. Don't
be well.
She said,
Leave me alone. Go.
She said that to the prophet. The prophet
said, I'm glad, and he left.
He didn't say anything more.
You know why the ulama said? Because
she was weak,
venerable.
The prophet knew
that. That's why he left.
Because the person at that moment is very
weak, and the shaitan can
interfere.
Let's say the prophet after fear Allah, and
maybe he would say something
will take her out of Islam. So out
of mercy, the prophet left her because he
could
sense and feel
her weakness.
So
the
left,
and the people
blamed her.
See?
Do you know?
Do you know
who was
that?
So no.
That's the prophet.
So she came to apologize.
The
prophet told that in
the submittal
order.
Patience,
which is breath worthy,
is when you receive the shock,
when you receive the news
at the Sabbath,
not after that.
You see the first shock of the news,
the sad news,
So
you collect yourself and remain patient,
and you say,
Or Allah help me regarding my calamity
and substitute me with something better and good.
I myself
trained myself.
If I receive call very late
before I answer, I
recollect myself,
try to
prepare myself that this is a bad news
you are going to hear
so
that you when you receive the news, you
already prepared yourself
to say
Is this clear to you,
No. I'm not sure. It's clear, but I.
That was our final question for tonight if
you'd like to conclude.
May Allah reward you. May Allah bless you,
bless your family, protect you, protect your family,
and may Allah
protect the Muslims all over the world.
And may Allah unite our and
bring us together.
May Allah
keep us to remain steadfast in this beautiful
deen till we meet Allah and find him
pleased with all of us.
And
may Allah elevate your status in this world
and in the next army.
Until, Insha'Allah,
we meet in the coming session. I leave
you in Allah's company and protection.
