AI: Summary ©
Okay. Let's just begin.
Brothers and sisters.
Assalamu alaikum Warahmatullahi
wabarakatuhu and welcome to our
31st
lesson of virtues of Islam
delivered by our beloved sheikh, Sheikh Salim Al
Amri.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the sheikh,
and the sheikh can begin.
Today is our weekly class,
Abba'il and Islam,
virtues of Islam.
This beautiful dean and Islam.
In the last session,
we talked about
the.
The
understanding
correct understanding
of the Muslim creed,
that the has
to be understood
in the same way that
the taught it to his companions,
and his companions
pass it to their students,
and their students
their students, so the
Muslim creed
is
derived
from
the only,
from the regulation.
It is based on the relation.
Because as we discussed,
the metaphysical
world,
the the unseen,
there's no way.
Do you know anything about it
through our
minds,
through our intelligence?
It's impossible.
Our minds cannot tell us
what is beyond
this
tangible
material world.
So the only way
to know about the other world,
the
is still the revelation
that
the creator of the heavens and the earth,
our
our creator,
out of his mercy,
he tells us and informs us.
So the Muslim belief is based on
two main sources.
It it is derived from the Quran and
the Sunnah.
Nothing else.
Quran and Sunnah.
Any
issues
that is not mentioned in the kitab and
Sunnah,
it will be merely speculation.
Someone
has fancy idea.
Say, there is this, there's that. How did
you know?
Who told you?
Oh, through my,
contemplation,
through my reasoning,
We know that reason has limitation.
The reasoning,
the mind works only within this
short and small domain.
Its scope
is limited.
Anything beyond that, you
your mind cannot
tell you anything about it. As a matter
of fact, so if we blunt the mind,
the hakal, the intellect
into that area,
the hakal will be lost.
So our belief is taken from the kitab
and sunnah, the Quran and the sunnah.
It is a revelation from Allah
So that's why
the
Muslim
belief is based on something concrete.
Why? Concrete.
Not based on
works of philosophers
or logicians.
No. It's based on
the word of the creator himself.
One who created everything,
he told us.
They are seeing the right man.
He told us they are there is heaven,
paradise.
There's hellfire. There are angels. There are kin,
all these things.
All the articles
of faith,
we have been informed
by the creator himself
as.
So our belief
is established
on very solid ground.
The speech of.
The saying
of the
which
is also
inspiration
from.
So we have to keep this in mind,
my dear brothers and sisters.
Your dean, you take your dean,
and sunnah.
This is and this is the real end
because this
brings about the,
the certainty.
Allah said the prophet said.
So these sources
of the Islamic
theology,
Islamic,
the Islamic
doctrine
is the Quran and the sunnah.
Quran, as you know, by definition
is the speech of Allah.
And create it
because it's the speech of the creator,
and the creator is not created.
So
it's it's
started from him and to go back to
him, the Quran. As mentioned in the hadith,
the prophet
towards the end of time,
the Quran will be taken
back to Allah,
will be removed from the books and the
hearts, the chest.
It is written in the books.
It started with aliflamin.
It started with
the
ends with Surat An Nas.
So this this is the the Quran, the
speech of Allah
So
says,
any of the, the pagans,
seeks your protection,
grant him protection
until he hears
the speech of
Then deliver him
and accompany him to his safe to his
destination,
to reach his destination
safely.
Allah
speaks Allah spoke
to Moses as you know.
So Allah speaks, and the Quran is his
speech. He spoke.
Allah
says,
verily, Allah spoke to Moses.
So Musa alaihi salaam
who heard the speech of Allah.
That's why when he heard Allah speaking to
him,
he looked forward to seeing him.
So that's why he requested and said,
my lord, let me see you.
Have I told you? No.
At this moment,
your physique
cannot with us would not
withstand and endure
looking at me.
But look at the mountain.
So Allah told him, land
land That means you will not see me
here in the dunya. In the
you will be able.
Okay. Land
Like an
Look at the mountain.
So Allah
showed
and gave
tangible and
material proof to Musa
that you cannot
withstand
looking at me now.
And I'll prove it to you. Just look
at the mountain.
So Allah appeared to the mountain appeared to
the mountain
and the mountain
crumbled.
And Moses, said, and Moses fell unconscious.
But in the next life,
because
our
will be totally different,
will be like the
the way and the form of our father,
Adam
So then we'll be able
to
see Allah.
So Allah spoke to Musa,
and Allah spoke to the Quran.
So it's the speech
of Allah.
Allah
said regarding
because
when he heard the Quran, he was mesmerized,
And he praised the Quran,
and he said beautiful things about him.
So Quran told him,
Al Walid,
change what you have said.
If people hear what you said, they will
become Muslims.
Then he said,
this is
a saying
of a a human being.
This is the saying of a human being.
Allah said,
When he said, this is the speech of
a human being
lying, Allah says,
I will make him taste the
the
punishment
of,
the blazing fire,
Jahannam.
Because it's not.
It is.
It's the saying of the lord
of the Bashar of humanity.
And this Quran, Allah preserved it and protected
it.
It is we who send down the the
reminder,
the criterion, this Quran,
the
and it is we who's going
to preserve it and protect it.
So the Quran is protected.
Allah
took upon himself
to collect it and gather it
in the heart of the prophet
and to enable him to recite it and
to read it because the prophet
in the beginning when Jibril
reads to him the Quran, Quran, it will
Jibril comes. Of course, the Quran came down
as we discussed before
all from
to
and then from
came down in peace meet.
K. In peace according to the
incident, according to the
the need.
Never.
Questions
posed,
the answer came down,
and that is Allah sent it down
in phases,
piecemeal
so that it will be able to be
committed
to memory,
understood
because it is linked to incidents.
Oh, this happened, that ayah came down, etcetera.
So the Quran is protected.
So the prophet
he would you bleed his reading and use
reading along with him. So he told him
no. No. And he was moving his lips
quickly
and his tongue.
So Allah told him,
do not move your tongue with it. Just
listen, and don't be
afraid.
It is
me,
I.
We are going to gather it, collect it
in your heart,
and then
it is
my duty to make you able to read.
Collect it and
enable you to recite it.
So the Quran was collected,
gathered in the heart of the because
you have to keep in mind, the Quran
was transmitted
transmitted
orally
orally.
Allah spoke it. Yibreel heard it. Yibreel conveyed
it to the prophet
and the prophet to his companions.
So there is oral transmission.
And
in addition to this, there was the writing
from day 1.
There are lighters. There are scribes.
So the Quran was protected.
And every year,
of Ramadan,
the prophet he
would
recite the Quran with Jibril
again and again. Go over it.
Reciting it.
In the last year, he recited it twice.
So the Quran committed to memories
and
written down
from the beginning.
Yeah. So the material is different according to
the available material,
but all of
it was there.
Then it was put in the book form,
and Allah
called it.
Kitab.
Because what is Kitab?
Kitab means
something collected,
put together
because the word in
Arabic
means to join things
to join things.
For example, if you have a skin
and you want
to stitch it and put it together,
2 pieces,
That is called you are making cutter, and
the the
the tool you use is called.
Like office.
The tool because you join the 2 pieces
together.
And Kitabah
writing, why it is called Kitabah?
Because you join the letters together.
That's why it's called Kitabah
and then Kitabah.
So the Quran was protected.
So today, if a Muslim doubts that, then
he's not a Muslim.
He's not a Muslim.
Because Allah said that he
going to protect it,
and it was protected,
committed to mammaris,
written in books.
Today, if you take all the books of
the Quran,
let's say, oh,
we don't have any written copy.
Next day, it will be there because it
is here
in the minds of Muslims,
memorized
by millions and millions and millions of Muslims.
That's why,
the prophet said, the hadith say,
this Quran
cannot be washed by water. Many people, they
don't understand what's the meaning of this hadith,
that the Quran cannot be washed by water.
What is this? If I put the Quran
in water, the ink will not be dissolved,
but doesn't mean that.
Doesn't mean that. It means because it is
in the hearts of the human beings.
So if the recital, the of the Quran
dips himself into the water
and he's swimming,
Quran is protected
To not be watched by the water
that washes
the body of the the So
the Quran Allah protected it.
So to doubt
the authenticity of the Quran,
then
you are not a Muslim
because simply you'll be lie what Allah promised.
Allah said he's going to protect it,
and you are saying no.
It's not protected
because you listen to the doubts of the
the
the disbelievers and the kuffar,
the
and the like,
are saying,
no. No. No. No. No. The Quran is
the most protected.
Quran is protected, but that's what Allah has
told us
and
millions of Muslims.
And even the different types of
because that's how the prophet
he read the Quran
in according to the tongues of the Arab
tribes to make it easy for them
because not all the types were having the
dialect or speak the dialect of Quraish.
So to make facilitate and make it easier
for them,
Jibril read it to the also
according to the dialects,
the different
dialects of the arts
to make it easier for them.
And everything is jotted down and documented.
That's why
when the during the reign of Saidna Usman
ibn Affan,
when the Muslims were in Azerbaijan
and Jihad,
and some of the Sahaba,
they heard the
the recitation
from the prophet, and this one read the
I like this. This one read the I
like that.
So there was a confusion
to the extent that my recitation is correct.
Your recitation is wrong.
So
this was reported to Asmar
that
do something
to fix this issue.
Because
of ignorance,
we were thinking this solicitation is wrong. This
solicitation is right.
Even during that the lifetime of the prophet,
said Nurmur Al Khattab
heard another Sahabi reading,
an ayah,
So he took him to the.
Said, listen to him.
The way he reads it is not the
way I read it.
So
the prophet told him, read it. I said,
yes. Correct. That's how I told you. Read
it. That's how I told you.
Both of you are correct.
So what's in Uzman
did?
He standardized
the
the recitation
and and asked all the Muslims to
follow the dialect of Quraish,
and he made the copy,
and he send it to all the
Muslim
countries,
different countries,
and people,
they realized that,
okay, now we have to
lead follow this script
and the dialect of Polish. The the other
types of reading remain, and that's why today
in the
Quran,
the colleague that teach the Quran and its
sciences, they are taught
taught.
K. So the recital would read the 10
different
ways or 7 different ways.
So the Quran, my dear brothers and sisters,
is protected.
So for anyone to doubt that, then he
is not a Muslim.
2nd source which is the sunnah. So Allah
protected the Quran, and Allah protected the sunnah.
Sunnah also was written.
So how are they were writing the,
but then the prophet
told them,
do not mix,
so don't write.
Don't
write the and the.
But the.
Many of the Sahaba, they have written the
Hadith of the prophet.
The compilation
and the classification
of the sunnah happened later. Classification,
categorizing,
that's happened later.
So Allah protected the Quran and protected the
Sunnah because the Sunnah is.
The Sunnah
is.
So the prophet said to me, he doesn't
speak out of his own desire.
Is inspired
by a regulation
that is inspired. Right?
And you have to keep in mind
that
the Arabs,
they were unlettered nation,
but Allah substituted
them
and blessed them
with photographic memories,
child memories.
They hear something, they committed to memory.
They were known for that
because Allah was preparing them for this.
That's why Allah chose the Arabs from among
the rest
of my kind
because they had certain qualities,
others they didn't have.
So before Islam,
everything,
they commit to mamani.
The battles,
the genealogy,
everything. Even today, today,
old people
go to the bad ones
and
see how they talk, and and he will
tell you.
Everything is
passed from 1 generation to another generation.
The Arabs, they would come.
They
used to have annual contest
annual contest
for all the poets because the poet on
those days
is the spokesman of the tribe.
He's the one who represents his
tribe.
So when the tribe has a poet,
oh,
they have power to have such a poet
because he is the one who defends his
own tribe.
So the Arabs, they would conduct
every year a contest competition
between
the poets.
So a poet so
he would be
composing
a poem
for 1 year,
revising it, adding, deleting,
refining it.
And then he comes to the
competition
to compete with other powers,
and the tribes are there.
These are called
Sukh or Akkad, Sukhil Mejaz,
the markets of Alqav and Najaz, etcetera, for
business
and also
for
entertainment
and for,
competition,
the competition between powers.
So can you imagine now tribes from all
over Arabia
are listening to this poem,
and the poet will say his poem only
once.
And, of course, there is
both
who are poets
who will evaluate
which poem is
the best
and choose
and pick it.
And the head of those
arbitrators,
okay,
is Anabira
Adviani,
Anabira
was also a poet a poet.
So
this poem will be said only once,
and
everyone who heard
it, memorized it.
So this was
they were gifted.
That this was their talent,
the Arabs.
Then the Quran came,
which is far, far, far better
than poetry and clothes.
And that mesmerized them.
Many of
the poets,
when they became Muslims. They said,
we will not
compose poems.
Quran is
after hearing the Quran, nothing is can come
near to it. Nothing.
So the Quran
was also memorized,
and the sunnah was memorized
by the Sahara.
So the sunnah protected as well.
And then Allah bless this nation, this Ummah,
with genius
scholars
who
came up with the sign a new science,
which
called
the animal aliwaya.
This animal hadith, science of hadith.
A technique, a methodology
of checking
the authenticity
of the narrations,
how to know that this narration,
this hadith is authentic.
That is through the Isnat
chain of
narrators.
Because keep in mind, hadith was
conveyed orally
in addition to the writing
orally.
So
Habi says, I heard the saying
this.
Says,
I heard
even Omar saying this.
For example,
I
heard the said
this.
Will say, I heard
saying this.
And and
and Malik will say
See?
It's orally.
You hear it.
So Imam Malik will say,
I heard Nafar
relating
from Ibn Umar.
Nafar say, I heard Ibn Umar
relating from
the prophet,
and this is the shortest Istmaat.
Malik, Nafar ibn Umar.
Malik,
Nafar ibn Umar. So between the
Imam Malik and the prophet
only 2 narrators,
Nafar and the abnormal. That's why they call
this,
the golden chain.
So Islam
was protected. The Quran was protected. The sunnah
was protected by
Isnat.
The Isnat, that's why Nunu Barak and other
of the side of the street, al Isnat.
The Ishnad is part of the deal.
Without Ishnad, anyone can say. The prophet said
this.
In
Islam, you cannot do that.
The moment you open your mouth,
the moment you say the prophet said this,
well, show
name your narrators.
Yes. Let us have a look.
You don't have a slot?
You cannot say the father said this.
You have a slot?
Let us have a look.
May
Allah reward them immensely, the scholars of Hadith.
They did a magnificent work,
amazing work.
They checked
all the narrators,
all the narrators,
and they compiled their biographies.
And they checked their
memory
that how sharp they are in memorizing.
Do they
make mistakes when they report the hadith,
and they keep checking them checking them?
The students of hadith
who are writing the hadith,
he would write the hadith from his chair.
Then he will cross check
when the Sheikh mentions the hadith again.
Did he
make a mistake?
Did he replace of any of the narrators?
If
the sheikh misses one of the narrator, replace
it with another,
the student will put a question mark, align
the date
that
the sheikh,
his
his normalization
capacity
is not that reliable.
So this hadith
now is doubtful.
And if it happens again,
then he will be cost out.
So you can can you imagine?
So that's why there are books
of the reliable narrators,
in cycled videos in cycled videos
called,
reliable narrators.
The weak narrator.
Those who
in the beginning, they were reliable,
then they became weak.
They
started to mix things. They got they say,
Now he is mixed up,
and they will tell
you, like, even.
Before, he was reliable.
Then his books were burnt, then
he started,
mixing a hadith together. So they said,
we don't accept his hadith after this time.
What before that, he was reliable. After this,
he cannot accept his hadith.
And then you find someone who is ignorant,
who doesn't know, talks about Bukhari and Muslim.
Come on. Hold your horses.
Hold your horses. You don't know what you
are talking about.
K?
If you study this science,
you will raise your hat
as the did.
They raise their hat for the Muslim.
Say, the Muslim, they have the right to
be proud that they have this science.
So
coming to our topic.
So the sources of the Islamic aqidah is
the Quran
and the sunnah,
authentic sunnah
of the prophet
because this is
the 2 social that we rely upon.
Okay? And deduce and
draw our belief from the book of Allah
and the sunnah
of the prophet
because this is the deen
which Allah said about it.
Just perfect.
Perfect.
What else do you want?
Allah is saying it is perfect and complete.
What else do you want?
As it's written by the high 3.
Allah
say, this deen is complete.
This day,
I have perfected your religion, you deen.
Perfected it.
Completed
my and my bounties, my blessings,
my favors upon you.
I
have chosen for you
as a way of life.
So
having said that, our dean will only take
from,
then there's no room
for speculations.
Nothing.
Problem for that.
No room.
Someone to say, I think
that is it.
In philosophy. Yes. In philosophy, you say, I
think this what I
I feel. This what I doubt with this.
How did you know that this is this
is right or this is wrong?
And you
see the different schools of philosophy
and the different,
conflict
and conflicting
philosophies
and
ideas, that is there
because that is misguided.
They are following their own whims and desires,
And
they say,
this mind can know everything when this will,
gray matter. That will know anything.
So that's why they went astray.
This philosopher says this. This philosopher says that.
But when
Islam, no. We don't we don't have that
at all. All this nonsense.
No room for it.
No room for it.
We don't entertain that at all.
Yes.
We appreciate the blessing of the apple as
Muslims,
and we use it
properly
because this is a gift, the apple, from
Allah. And manatul taklif, as the ulama'usul
would say.
Manatul taklif. That means
obligations are bound to the soundness of the
intellect,
sanity.
The moment you lose your sanity, you lose
your apple,
then you are not obligated anymore.
The pen will not try it against 3
types of people.
K?
K? So these 3 types of people.
K, a person
until he reaches the age of puberty.
Before reaching the age of puberty,
the panel will not fight
against you.
And the age of puberty
because now your mental
capacity
is
perfect,
so you can't comprehend and can't
understand.
So that's why now you are
committed. Now you are applied. Now you are
obligated
to
do the obligations.
A child, he doesn't know.
His apple is glowing
because the
apple
is
a
skin.
The apple and the mind of a child,
not just the mind of an adult.
It grows,
and it learns,
and it is limited.
The problem that
many, because of their arrogance, they think
the mind is not limited. No. The mind
is limited.
Everything about us is limited.
My sight is limited. I don't see everything.
And there's a wisdom.
Imagine that I can see
through the microscopic level.
I will not be able to sleep
because germs are all over.
You can see the germs and the insects
are crawling
in your bed, and you will not sleep.
But Allah made us not to see them.
So our sight is limited.
The same thing.
Our hearing is limited. Imagine that you hear
everything. You're not be able to sleep.
You're not be able to
sleep. But Allah made your ear
only
fix this
limited range of frequencies,
sharp audible frequencies,
and the rest above, below, you don't hear
out of his mercy for you.
So your hearing is limited. Your smelling is
limited.
Imagine you smell everything,
and you smell bad smells from far distance.
So everything about us.
Sight is limited. Hearing is limited.
Smelling is limited. Tasting is limited.
Touching is limited.
All the 5 senses are limited.
How about the apple? Of course, it is
limited
because everything about you is limited. Your mind
is limited as well.
So come down to earth and admit and
accept the fact that you are limited in
every aspect.
Everywhere you are limited.
So that's why the Muslims,
they are the ones who
know the limitation of the and they use
it within its limitation.
And they know the apple
works within
the material
world, tangible world, world of physics, use it
there.
And then
and that's why the Muslims, they become pioneers.
Technology,
different sciences.
K? The Greek philosophers, they were
their culture was based always
on something abstract,
Thinking about abstract things.
Arguing at different schools.
The Muslims,
That's not what the apple is for. The
apple is for
to use it
in something tangible,
material.
So the Muslims
focus on
experimentation,
empiricism.
Who came up with this
empirical
methodology?
The Muslims.
The Muslims.
And that's why they established
a civilization
that had no parallel
in the history
of
man.
And what you see today,
the modern
civilization
and technological
advancements,
they just picked from where our fathers,
forefathers, the Muslim scholars and scientists
left,
and they
built upon that
because Europe was in total darkness,
dark
ages. What they call dark ages, Muslims were
in the peak,
well advanced
medicine
and and name it. All different disciplines
because they use the apple
efficiently,
properly within its limitation.
So we Muslim do not deny the role
of the apple, but we know how to
use it.
And to to say, here,
you can work. Here,
you
follow
the knuckle
the knuckle, the regulation,
and there will not be any contradiction
between the and the knuckle.
Sound intellect
will not contradict
with the correct
dean revelation,
sound
religion,
sound narrations,
correct narrations. There will not be any contradiction
because this apple is created by Allah. And
if we use it correctly
to understand the text, they go together hand
in hand
hand in hand.
You understand
the text,
and you use your mind,
and you mastered the tools
that will that,
enable you to understand the text,
the prerequisite
of knowing and understanding
the text.
So there will not be any contradiction
between the Haqqel and the Naqqel.
That's why,
he combined
the massive
work,
the
encyclopedia,
called.
So he's saying that there will not be
any contradiction.
K?
So
the rejection of,
of the claim that there is a contradiction
between.
It's called knuckle because it reach off through
the,
transmission,
knuckle,
and the. There will not be any contradiction.
If there is any contradiction,
it's
either
the
the apple
is
trying to go beyond its scope
because
the text talks about something not material
related to the unseen.
So as the apple tries to cross its
limit,
here, yes, the apple will go astray.
Or
the narration itself, like like, for example, this
regarding hadith.
The hadith
is not
authentic, so that's why you'll see a conflict
because the narration is not authentic.
But if the narration is authentic and the
apple is sound, you will never find
any contradiction.
You'll not find any contradiction,
and that's why
Muslim scholars,
they said
it's impossible.
You'll find
any contradiction
between
or apple.
You never find. It's only hypothetical. You assume.
But when you
analyze and study the text carefully,
you'll see there is harmony
between
the intellect
and the
the the text itself.
So Islam, my dear brothers and sisters,
tells
us
that we should not speculate
and do not
guess or conjecture
When we don't have
knowledge,
we stop.
So Allah says
and
this is a warning.
So this is a lesson for us. So
Allah is saying,
and pursue not that of which you have
no knowledge. You don't have any knowledge.
Admit it and say I don't know
other than speculating.
In the somehow,
rarely lead the hearing and the sight and
the heart will be questioned
when they are threatening.
Why did you say this?
What is your proof?
Also, Allah
tells
us
about the mission and the role
of the prophet
and the
role
of
the sunnah
and the relationship
between the sunnah
and the Quran.
Because the Sunnah
explains the Quran.
Sunnah explains the Quran.
Allah send down the Quran, and now it
is
the role of the prophet
to explain it
to the Muslims.
So this explanation
of the Quran
is the sunnah.
The sunnah is deduced from the Quran
and sanctioned by Allah.
Because the hadith, 2 types, hadith
and hadith.
Hadith
the meaning is from Allah, Azza Wajal,
and the
wordings
of the
prophet
Whereas the Hadith Nawi,
prophetic tradition,
both the wordings and
the content
from the prophet
of course sanctioned by Allah
as approved of by him.
And because
if the
said something
and
and as
based on his own understanding,
this is his ijtihad, the prophet
he practiced ijtihad.
For example,
it is not from based on Wahi, his
own
personal deduction and understanding.
For example, the
the Shahabah
and Medina
because we know that alshar are farmers.
So they used
to pollinate
the date palm trees,
pollinate,
taking the pollen
from the male to the female.
So then the the fruit and the the
produce will be good.
So they asked the prophet,
should we pollinate
as we used to
take the pollinate from the male to the
female? He said no.
So this no
is not based on revelation from Allah.
This was.
So the Sahaba,
they didn't
pollinate, and
they ate,
produce
as they used to.
To their surprise, the fruit,
the produce was bad quality.
So they
showed showed the problem. They said, you told
us not to do that. See what happened.
Then he
told them,
this is the wisdom behind this,
the divine wisdom behind it. Why Allah allowed
his prophet to say that?
To tell the Muslim there is a room,
there is a leeway
for you
to use your minds and to run
your within
the framework of the sharia.
There is room for you.
So he said, we,
group of messengers of Allah and prophets, we,
community of prophets and messengers of Allah,
were not sent to teach the people how
to run their mundane affairs.
K?
We came to teach you your deen and
to give you guidelines to follow,
and there is a room for you to
reason and to
invent and to think and.
You know how to
run your mundane affairs
within the framework of the Sharia,
following the guidelines that
were were given to you.
So this was if she had from the
prophet.
Also,
he wanted
to
stop the Muslims
from fulfilling
their
biological needs with their wives with their pregnant.
Then he said, I saw
the Persians and the Romans
doing that, and nothing happened to them.
And this is called.
Or the
breastfeeding
while
a woman is pregnant.
So the role of the prophet
is to explain
the
the the
the the Quran,
the Wahi.
So there is
a strong
relationship
between the Sunnah and the Quran. So the
Sunnah explains the Quran.
The Sunnah,
for example,
the text is
general,
then the sunnah
limits that generality
and specifies
that text
and makes exception
makes exception.
K?
For example,
Allah says,
Right? He prohibited to you the dead animals
and the
and blood
and the flesh of the spine.
So here,
you know, dead
all dead. So this is the set of
all dead animals.
So now
the sunnah excludes some elements from the set
of the dead animals.
This exclusion
and removing
some elements from this set
and form a subset
is called
Tarsis. Alham, Tarsis.
Because there is you make exception.
You remove some element.
So the sunnah came and say, okay. From
this set of dead animals,
you have a set, all dead animals, any
animal dead inside this set.
So you remove 2 elements
from this set of the dead animals.
What are they?
Fish,
don't move it,
and locust.
And this is now your new subset,
fish and locust halal for you.
So this is
exception.
This is.
This is what the sunnah does exemption.
So this what the
to
that text,
which is mentioned
in the Quran.
The
also
limits The text is unlimited.
It makes it limited.
Regarding, for example,
the punishment of the thief
to chop off his hand.
Where do we do it?
Should we cut the hand? Which part of
it?
So the sunnah say it from the rest,
from here.
That's how you cut the hand.
The sunnah
explains
what has been summarized.
Details,
the Mujumah, the summarized text,
gives you detail.
It breaks it down.
As Allah says,
establish prayer.
Show me how to pray from the Quran.
Those who are saying we are.
We don't follow anything, sir, the Quran.
Tell them, okay.
I want to pray. How many?
Show me how to pray from the Quran.
The Quran said, just establish the prayer.
So the sunnah came
and told us about the number of times
of prayers
and how to pray, etcetera.
Allah says,
well, I do Zakah and give Zakah. How
much?
Plus
the
of the
of money or the gold and silver and
life,
and the
animals.
How much?
I have this number of cows, this number
of camels, this number of sheep, this number
of goats.
How much did I get?
How many cows? How many sheep?
How many camels?
What's the zakah? How much I should give
of the crops
when I harvest?
Said the sunnah.
Hey. To tell you that.
The sunnah?
Sometime
mentioned some,
the new rulings, not mentioned in the Quran.
For example,
in the Quran,
you'll not find
that
it is haram
for a man to marry a woman and
her
maternal
or paternal
aunt.
But
it's
in
the
sunnah.
Sunnah said.
Or some
animals, we are not allowed to eat them.
Or some birds,
the birds of hay, we are not allowed
to eat them.
K.
Vultures, falcons
cannot eat them.
So
so the sunnah is very important, and it's
there to explain the book of Allah.
So that's why Allah says in Surat An
Nahl aya 44.
K? So here, Allah called the
and we have sent down to you, our
prophet, the reminder,
which is the
sunnah.
So that you may explain to the people
what has been revealed for them
The Quran and this sunnah
is zikr also
from Allah
giving to the to
enable him to
explain the book of
Allah.
So we have sent down the to you,
this
to explain the other
so that you may explain to the people
what has been revealed to them.
For them, which is the the book of
the Quran.
Perhaps they will reflect upon that.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
by now, you you know that our
our is
based on taken from the and
the sunnah
of the prophet
And the rest,
the and the they
all boil down and go back to this
and
sunnah. May Allah
increase all knowledge in the deed. May Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge and may
Allah and righteous deeds, and may Allah
forgive us all false and mistakes and ignorance.
May Allah forgive our sins. Ameen. May
Allah
keep us to remain instead for us on
this beautiful deed.
And may Allah
unite
our and may Allah unite our
and may Allah unite. May Allah
reward you immensely, my dear brothers and sisters,
your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we will now start the
question and answers time. Please send in your
questions fast so we can answer them before
we end the session.
Those who would like to, as usual, please
ask your questions directly
on the mic, and that is our preferred
way if you are to ask a question.
Otherwise, you can also send us a written
message.
We've
received some written, questions already. We'll begin with
those inshallah.
The first,
is it permissible to give zakat to a
Muslim to help her pay off her debt
to the local council in a non Muslim
country?
Okay.
As you know, the categories of zakar from
among the categories,
those who have debt.
So this Muslim, he has a debt
debt irrespective.
This debt's for this person or that person.
So he has debts,
and he has to
to to pay.
K?
Then there's no harm in giving and clearing
his debt or her debt.
K. You have debt
and providing, of course, that this Muslim is
a practicing Muslim.
He's a practicing Muslim so that we should
not I mean, help him to
because some Muslim, for example,
you if you help him to clear his
debt now, he will go again and also
borrow money and stuff like that.
So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he is
the one that distribute it.
You have to understand and the the context
that a Muslim who has debts is pious,
righteous,
and he
failed to clear his debts or pay back
his debts.
So the Sharia helps him to the zakah,
to get rid of his debts so that
he can
live his life normally and
and remove this nightmare and get rid of
it.
Is this clear to the question?
Well, it is clear, Sheikh. And, if it's
not, then they can send another question to
follow-up.
Go to the next question, Sheikh.
Is a person sinful for not checking the
ingredients
to some processed food before eating it
because
it was time consuming, for example,
and later found out that there was alcohol
in it?
You see,
my dear brothers and sisters,
a Muslim,
he
fears
Allah
And he doesn't want to do anything to
displease Allah
And Allah
wants us to eat halal.
Said regarding its poverty,
He makes the the good things, the whole
things halal for them,
and
he perhaps show them the,
the things that are not whole.
So if you want Allah to accept your
dua,
dua, make your food halal.
Then Allah will accept your dua because if
you are eating haram,
Allah will not accept.
And since we are living
in a time where they there's no honesty,
and people, they cheat and they add many
items to the food,
then one has to be careful.
So for example, when I go shopping, I
have a list.
Do not take me
more than 1 minute to
have a look and see.
Yes.
If the people
if I'm in the Muslim countries and the
projects are
checked and
and,
by the Muslims and, and they are coming
from Muslim countries,
That is different.
But I know I'm living in non Muslim
countries, and I know this is what they
are doing.
So I cannot just speak like that
because
they write for you in
the label,
the ingredients
that it contains this.
So why didn't you eat it?
So don't be lazy.
Do your homework.
K? Because if you are eating halal haram,
this is going to affect your heart,
affect your.
So we have to eat halal.
They say and we when we read that
the Sahabi yat, when the Sahabi leaves in
the morning,
she would tell her husband, fear Allah regarding
us. We can't endure
hunger, but not the hellfire,
not the hellfire.
So if we're gonna
feed us something hard,
so
we have to do our homework and and
check
and check, see if we can
okay. There is haram. Leave it.
But this it's there mentioned in the label.
If it is not mentioned,
there's something haram,
and it
is not, I
mean, the flesh of the swine or the,
then
it's haram.
If it is mentioned that they are telling
you these are the ingredients
and which are haram ingredients,
and you take and you buy them and
eat them,
what excuse
will you have before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
I hope this is clear to the question.
We go to the next question.
Sheikh, may Allah grant you jannatul firdausamin.
What is the meaning of the verse number
145
of Surat
Al Alafat?
145
of Al Arafat?
I believe they meant Aaraf, but they wrote
Arafat.
Shit. I I believe they,
meant a lot of, but they've,
done the typo.
Yeah.
This is talking about Musa alaihi salaam,
the Torah,
the Torah.
Of course, no doubt in it.
There's guidance in it,
and in
it.
And detailed law for the Bani Israel, that's
why the
the the Old Testament
okay. The Torah means Torah means the law.
Bani Israel,
they have law.
Christian, they don't have law. The New Testament,
it's not a law. No law.
So the law for the Christians is they
have to follow
what the Torah says.
That's why said,
I didn't come
to to change the law,
to abide by the law, to see the
Torah.
And
Arab Christians and Muslim countries, like, of course,
in Egypt and other places,
because they don't have law.
So
when it comes to issues of inheritance and
things like that, they come to the
to the Muslim
court, to the Muslims,
and there is a special place for them.
And
they the inheritance and the laws will be
applied,
and they like that.
And they follow what
Islam, because they don't have a solution for
their problem.
So no doubt
that Allah
has written in the Torah, and Allah has
written the Torah for Musa alaihis salaam.
And
on
the
on the slates
for Musa I saw when he went to
the Mount of Sinai,
and he was giving the Torah,
and he came carrying the Torah.
But you know what happened?
You know what happened that,
the Sammedi,
he
when Musa left,
he made for them a calf.
K?
And he told Benezaid, this is your
god,
and they started to worship
this calf.
Of course, we know that Aaron was there,
and he tried to
to stop them. They didn't listen.
So when Musa came,
he could not believe his eyes. So what
he did, he threw
the alua,
fell down the star,
and he grabbed his brother, Arun, by his
beard and his head.
And Aaron cried to him. Oh,
son of my mother,
don't humiliate me.
K? They were about to kill me.
So that's what the Quran said. When he
come, he picked up
the the or the slaves
or
the votes that Allah
the Torah for Musa al Assad. So no
doubt the Torah
is and it's guidance. But which Torah? The
Torah
that was given to Musa. This is what
the Muslims believe in.
Not what is mentioned in the Old Testament
because we know what happened to the Jews,
k, when
the
Baha'i Nasr,
k, the Babylon king,
he destroyed
Jerusalem, and he took them as captives.
K? So they lost
their Torah.
And then they
rewrote
it from their,
but they have
were able to
to.
And then they added next to it explanation
of it, which is they call it the.
K? So we Muslims believe in that which
was given to Musa alaihi salaam, not the
one that was
adulterated
or chained.
The same way you would believe in the
injil, the gospel
that was given to Isa alaihi salaam,
not the gospel of Mark or Matthew or
Luke or Jahan.
Is this clear to the questioner?
If not, they can always
message back. Next question, Sheikh. To what extent
can
one apply or use weak hadith?
Weak hadith, we don't use them at all
at all.
Even when
we don't use weak hadith
because
to
say the virtue of this
thing is like this based on the Hadith.
We know.
You don't build ruling
on Hadith at all.
And people, they misunderstand
what the scholars,
some say,
the hadith, weak hadith can be used in
If
you read what they mentioned,
for example
and you have to understand the terminology
of the of the scholar,
like Imam Ahmed. To him, hadith
is Sahih and Gaif.
It's a terminology of Imam Ahmed.
So Imam Ahmed, he would call Hassan Hadith
Gaif.
The one who came with this third category,
Sahih Hassan Ga'if, is Imam Timothy.
This is a terminology
Imam Timothy came up with.
Because Hassan hadith, it is actually
not as
strong as the Sahid hadith.
The narrator has a slight weakness
Slight weakness.
So with the,
they talked about the weak hadith. They are
not talking about, first of all, the very
weak
hadith. I'm not talking about this.
They talk about the we hadith that has
slight weakness.
K?
So they made condition. They said, first of
all,
when you mention it, you have to say
Hadith to Baris.
If you're not saying,
oh,
No. You have to say
You have to report it.
Which is which means
the, the form and the way and the
you relate the narration,
it tells
and conveys to the listener it is weak
like
reported. It is reported
in the passive.
So when you hear
in the terminology according to the terminology of
hadith, that this hadith is weak
because it is.
So when you mention hadith, first of all,
should not be very weak. Second thing, you
have to mention it is weak, that there
is a slight weakness in it. Number 3,
the meaning of this weak hadith
is mentioned in other authentic.
Authentic.
The same meaning.
So the
is based on the other
authentic narrations, not on this weak narration.
So you don't
say if
a you can't report it.
No. Cannot say that. Like,
15th of Shaba and
fast to get it. Based on weak hadith,
you cannot say that.
You have to have a strong authentic narration
from the prophet.
So
with hadith, you don't
use it
and build her community,
even
because
what? Virtues
that I do do this deed seeking by
this,
that it works from Allah. So it's just,
and you cannot base a hakum in a
way.
I hope this is clear to the question.
This question. We go to the next question.
May Allah reward Sheikh immensely for sharing
beneficial knowledge with us, Amin.
If I have 22 karat gold in form
of jewelry, do I remove zakat on the
current
22 carat gold rate?
This first of all, the, the zakat on
the women's jewelry
and ornaments,
there are different opinions between scholars.
One opinion says
the ornaments
that you
wear, a woman wears,
nose acai.
Right?
And this is also the mad hub of
others.
So if you
hear scholars say this, this is
one school or one opinion.
The other that says
The ornaments or types of gold like rings,
circular shapes,
closed shapes,
how often women to wear.
K? This will maybe straight to you, to
hear, like
bangles, bracelets,
necklaces,
and this was the mad hub of some
of the Sahara.
And our sheikh al Ghani,
he follows this opinion, holds this opinion.
And the other opinion says no.
3rd,
even if there are bangles, clothes, and shade,
etcetera, some of them say, these are hadith
who are obligated
because they are the hadith.
So should Sheikh Nasser quote it?
So they're saying obligated. So Sheikh Nasser has
said,
they're not obligated, so produce the date. Because
anyone who says this hadith is obligated, they
have to
bring the date that this hadith was said
after this hadith,
and no one could produce that.
So the issue of obligation
is
unacceptable.
So what to do?
So because we have authentic narrations
prohibiting women from wearing
such types of ornaments.
So this
third group or the opinion of the scholar,
they say,
it will become haram for her to wear
it if she doesn't give the zakah.
Because the prophet, when he saw the woman
wearing the bangles, he said, do you give
the zakah of it?
So he asked about the zakah.
So the ornaments that you wear,
if you
do not give the zakah,
then
you
will be held responsible and accountable for Allah
And remember
the 5 rulings of the sharia.
Haram,
leave it,
do it, halal is halal.
Keep this in mind always.
So now
you want to be, as a Muslim man,
to be on the safe side.
What should you do? Give the zakah of
your gold.
When you possess and when you have
an amount of 85 grams of gold
and above,
less than 85 grams, there's a cap above
that,
including the 85 grams,
you go to the jeweler
and say, what is the price of gold
today?
Selling price, not the buying price,
the selling one. When you want to sell.
Because when you want to buy, the price
will be high.
When you want to sell,
so you weigh the amount of gold you
have,
and then you multiply
the number of grams into the price
of of per gram
when you want of selling,
and you'll get the product to his amount
of money times 2.5%,
and you give this a card.
So who should give this a card now?
The woman or the husband? The answer to
the woman, not the husband.
But if the husband,
volunteers
said, okay.
I will pay the zakat for you. Just
give me your gold. I weigh it, and
they'll give the zakat. That's all. I'm fine.
But if you say, no. This is your
gold. You go
and and give the zakah. I don't have
money. You can sell part of it and
give the zakah.
Is this clear to the question?
We go to the next question.
Can I fast my missed
fasting on 13, 14, and 15
of every month with the intention of missed
fasting
as well as sunnah?
Please advise.
It will be counted as your.
Okay.
And it's up to Allah
to give you the reward
of the nafil as well.
K?
But,
the Muslim masjid always
clear her debts
because you will see, I'm telling you now,
only a few days from Ramadan.
And many systems, they haven't paid their
debts, cleared their date.
And then you'll see the phones of the.
They haven't made up my days.
What do you want the chef to do
for you?
1 year,
procrastinating
until now.
So my days dear sisters,
wake up.
Still you have few days.
If you haven't
fasted the day that the days that you
missed,
pick up your dates.
Fast them
before Ramadan
comes
before Ramadan comes.
Is this clear to the question?
Charlotte is clear, Sheikh. We go to the
next question.
A brother started having suhoor almost 5 minutes
before
or at the time of Fajr
without knowing
when Fajr enters? Is his fast valid?
No. Did he eat after the
the time of Fajr?
After the time of faggot, yes, his fast
is invalid.
So you have to make sure that
when you eat, it is still out before
the time of faggot.
But if you add after
the fajal,
time fajal started,
then your fast is invalid. So make sure.
Next question, please.
Next question.
Is the wife of my father's brother
my Mahram?
The wife of?
His uncle.
So his, father's brother.
The wife
of his father's?
Brother.
The wife of his father's?
One minute.
I'm confused.
The wife of his father's
brother.
That means his father's brother is his his
uncle.
Yes, chief. The wife of his uncle. No.
She's
not
a.
She's not a. If your uncle died, you
can marry his wife,
whether this uncle mother's side or father's side.
Is this clear?
That is clear, Sheikh.
We go to the next question.
Is it permissible to give Zakat to pay
off children's debt that they took to pay
university fees in the UK?
Children's debts. Their own children?
Yeah. No.
She's a kind in Islam is haram
for your usul and your furor.
Your usul, you are and your furur. Your
usul means
your fathers and forefathers.
Father, grandfather,
these are your usul. You descended from them.
And your
your your your children,
k, your progeny, your offspring, you cannot give.
Cannot give the card to your father and
father,
grandfather, or
your children
or grandchildren. You cannot?
Yes. You can give to your uncle, to
your
both
maternal uncle maternal uncle maternal aunt maternal,
aunt,
your sisters.
You can.
But your children
and your
father and grandfather,
etcetera,
Next question, please.
The next question,
Are a hadith in Sahih al Bukharin Sahih
Muslim?
For example, the
for the for example, the hadith which says
that whoever
once in his life span and wealth increased
should uphold the ties of kinship.
I know a group of Muslim who denies
that.
So so the question they're asking is, are
the Hadith in Bukhali Muslim Sahil, like, authentic?
Adi Hadith
authentic in these books.
What the what do we call the Bukhali
and Muslim?
What are their names?
Sahil?
No.
So K?
And those who are saying
this hadith,
Go to KG 1 and learn your,
hadith.
Go to KG 1 first.
Who are used to talk
when you don't know? I remember
our Sheikh Alba
and once say,
students of,
a person,
question, I asked him,
oh, Sheikh, you,
say this hadith is, is weak.
So
the Sheikh
our Sheikh is
very
tough. You don't cut to play with them.
So did you did you study hadith?
He said, no. He said,
sit down.
Why should I waste my time with you?
When I talk to you, you will not
understand what I'm talking about.
You don't know the jargon and the terminology
and signs of hadith, and then you dare
and come and say, why did you say
this hadith?
So the same thing. This one who says,
well, this hadith is who told you? Who
are you?
Are you an expert?
It's a tough discussion.
You don't?
Go and learn. I'm studying.
Imam Abu Dhabi.
The scholars who came after him.
They spent their lifetime to try just to
understand
why Imam Bukhadi put this hadith here.
What are you trying to tell us?
You see,
the the
in the
classification,
the titles.
All those who try to
critique.
As as if Allah created ibn Hajar al
Askarani only to understand Baha'i.
And the imam ibn Hajar, he will
explain and say, no. What the imam Baha'i
meant is this and that.
He spent more about 40 years
explaining and expounding on.
Next question, please.
The next question, Sheikh. Can I feed the
poor while asking Allah to give my deceased
mother the reward?
What are the things that I can do
for her?
She, the prophet, he told us what will
benefit the the dead people.
The matter.
Three things will cease
after
the all the deeds of the deceased will
cease except from 3 things. 3 things will
still he will receive the reward.
A pious child. Child means he a male
or female
who prays for him or her.
Charity. Charity, different forms.
Building mosque, building hospital,
orphanage,
helping feeding the pill the poor people,
clothing the orphans, all these things.
Or a justice
something.
So these are the things that will benefit
the the disease.
So
the,
perpetual,
that means it will
generate
forever and continuously,
and the dua.
And if he did something,
he he told the people knowledge and imparted
it when he was alive.
So
the needs of his students will reach
him after
he leaves this life.
So buying food and feed the people, that's
a good deed.
And the dua, the most important, the dua.
How about reading the Quran?
That's what many Muslim do. I read the
Quran and ask Allah
to take the salawat to my parents.
This is not.
The dua is more important than that.
And, also, all the deeds of the children.
No need to say
the recitation
of this and that. All your deeds, the
deeds of the children,
