Ready when you want,
Good, dear.
Let's begin.
And sisters
and welcome to our weekly
verse
of Masaiyah
delivered by our honorable Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
Today is our weekly class.
Nasir al Ghiraliya,
issues of Ghiraliya.
In the last session, we talked about some
of the
main features and characteristics
of the
Arabs.
And today, you would continue
mowing through
the remaining.
Among
the
characteristics
of the Arab
or of the Arabs or the Arab
is that they
boasting
boasting about their,
genealogy,
lineage,
their ancestors.
This is a sickness
common among all the Arab tribes
even today.
You find everyone saying
our tribe better than your tribe. We are
this. We are that.
And I think it's also other communities that
have the same thing.
So this is
one of the
the main characteristics
among the Arabs before Islam
and even today,
which is this boasting
about
your lineage,
your
genealogy,
your
ancestors,
that I am the descendant of so and
so,
etcetera.
Islam
came and put an end to this
and gave us the right standard, the correct
standard,
the criteria
that Allah uses,
k,
by which Allah measures
the
human beings,
and they us
in the next life.
This yardstick,
the criterion
is the.
Nothing more than that.
Nothing more than that.
The one who is more righteous,
more pious
is the best in the sight of Allah.
So if you want to be better than
anyone else,
try to defeat him or her
in
righteousness
and piety.
Be more righteous than him or than her.
Be more righteous
and pious
also in the same way.
That's it.
Your ancestors
had nothing.
We'll not make your scale heavy
because you are the descendants
from this family.
The prophet
made it very clear,
very, very clear.
And he said,
What does this mean?
If you are
lagged behind because of your,
misdeeds
and lack of righteous deeds.
So you can't you are not competing. You
are not ahead.
You are at the end of the queue
because
you didn't
work hard in the dunya.
You didn't strive in the cause of Allah.
You didn't do much righteous deeds.
So you are behind lagging behind
because you did not do good deeds.
The one who's lagged behind because of his
He didn't work hard.
His lineage, his genealogy,
his novelty,
k,
will not bring him to the front.
Will not hasten him.
Will not
move him from
where he is or where he is
to the
front. We're not
promote him and his
rank in because
he is the son of so and so.
Your nasa, your uniology,
linear, you will not bring you closer to
Allah.
So let us, my dear brothers and sisters,
and I'm sure
many of us, they have this they have
this disease.
So you we need to approach it and
get rid of it.
Get
rid of it.
And remember
what our master, said.
K? I'm the son of Al Islam.
I'm the son of
Al Islam.
So
this disease
needs to be treated,
and everyone has to
eradicate and uproot
its roots from his heart and her heart.
K? Because this
leads to racism.
Oh,
we our race is better than their race.
Our family better than family.
We cannot marry from them, and they cannot
marry from us.
Why? Aren't they Muslim?
Aren't they Muslim?
Yes.
They are, but you know?
So so with the remnants
of the Jahiliya
of Abu Yahu and Abula hab still there
among the Muslims.
So listen to what our lord says.
The meaning,
All human
being. All mankind.
All humanity.
All
mankind.
We created you from a male and a
female.
Male and a female,
and made you into
peoples and tribes,
into nations and tribes
so so that you may get to know
one another.
Surely,
the most noble view in the sight of
Allah is the most righteous among you.
Allah is truly
all knowing,
all aware.
Let us pause and reflect.
So this ayah addresses the issue of racism,
where people, they
deal with each other based on the ethnicity,
on the race,
color,
color of their skin.
Your community is classified according to the color
of the skin,
black, white, colored.
And maybe some would say, oh, this used
to be. Not there anymore. No. No. No.
It's there. There. There.
K?
The white race, they look upon the others.
The white man still has this
mentality of the days of the colonization.
It has that mentality.
So they think they are superior to others.
So
Allah says,
oh mankind.
So Allah talks to all children
of Adam
We created you. This is the royal we,
by the way. Royal we.
God
glorifies himself, praises himself.
We created you mankind.
We created you from the male and the
female,
from Adam and Eve.
Adam and Hawa,
So you are all the children of Adam
and Eve.
So you are brothers
and sisters.
So what makes one
better than the other?
Your color?
No.
Your color is nothing. The color is to
you've been giving that color, suiting your environment.
We are living in rough places, rough kind
of climates.
You'll have dark skin
because of heat.
If you are living on high places,
you'll have
wide nostrils because the oxygen is very less
at high places.
So you need to have big openings to
suck in more
oxygen.
So if you are in cold places, you
will have small nostrils.
So when you breathe, the air will not
go cold inside.
So the pussy is
narrowed, so it will warm up before the
air enters your lungs.
So there's the wisdom behind
that. Wisdom.
But the most important thing that you have
brothers and sisters.
Your father is 1, your mother is 1,
so no one is better than the other.
No one is better than
the other.
And that's how humanity multiplied.
No evolution.
Man and the woman.
This is the normal way of multiplication.
Multiplication.
Just how humanity multiply it.
Husband wife, husband wife. That's the normal thing.
Not husband, husband, wife, wife.
Man, man, woman, woman.
This is a total
relapse
and inversion
of the 5th law, the
natural disposition.
Because a man with a man will not
multiply.
They will not produce children.
A woman with a woman will not produce
children.
So it has to be man and a
woman,
male and female.
And that's how
the universe is created
in pairs. Everything in pairs.
Trees,
flowers,
insects.
Even in if you go to the inanimate
objects,
if you go down even to the subatomic
level,
electrons, protons,
If you go through the assumptions of the
atoms,
you'll find pairs of electrons spinning
against each other.
So Allah created
everything in pairs.
Past. Yeah. You and us, all mankind.
We created you
from male and female,
Father and mother, Adam and Eve.
And we made you
into
nations.
What for?
To kill each other? No.
To boast
about each other,
about your own self,
to look upon others,
to suppress others,
oppress others?
No.
Little are awful.
That's the reason
I created you. That's the reason I made
you into different nations,
different tongues.
The wisdom behind that,
I made you into nations,
peoples, and tribes
so that you may
get to know each other,
get to know.
So he's from this tribe. Oh, okay.
Right. Yeah. I would name us. Yeah. Okay.
So now I know where you are from.
That's it.
Oh, he's from this country.
K?
That's how they talk. This is their tongue.
This is their language.
So this diversity
shows the greatness of the creator.
The greatness of the creator
created us
different forms,
tall, young,
short,
black, white, colored,
diversity.
To show his greatness,
he created all of us.
When he created our father, Adam,
he send the angels
to the earth,
and they picked from the different parts of
the earth.
K?
Sandals.
They put
picked from this place,
this much of earth,
from this place, this much, from this,
and that was mixed.
And that's why
the children of Adam, different colors,
like the soils of the Earth from which
they were created.
It's
awful so that you recognize each other, know
each other.
So when you see these
different languages,
and they are all
going back
to one language.
1.
The tongue of Adam and Eve.
Uh-oh.
So those who are studying
the experts
who are studying the
languages,
they are telling you not that the languages,
they go back.
So all of us, we go back,
okay,
to our father and mother, to one man
and one woman.
From that man and woman, Adam and Eve,
all children of Adam came.
All these
great number and billions of human beings,
they are descendants from
1 person,
one man, and one
the
most
respectable
of
you,
the one who will have the best
status
in younger.
The most
noble of you
are.
Nothing.
With Allah, not with you. With you,
you follow your own criterion,
which is based on your whims and desires.
Yeah. We are for this family. We are
for this tribe.
We are the nobles.
They are the downtrodden.
We are from this cast.
They are untouchable
because
that is your own criterion.
Allah's criterion
is totally different.
And because
is totally different.
The most noble of you in your
side is not like the most noble
of you in my side.
Totally different.
Surely, the most noble of you in the
sight of Allah
sight
of
Allah is the most righteous among you. That's
it.
This is the criterion.
This how I am going to judge you
on the day of resurrection.
I'm not going to judge you according to
the color of your skin.
No,
or your social status,
or how well off you were,
no,
How righteous you were.
How righteous you were.
Keep this in mind.
So that's why, my dear brothers and sisters,
never ever
look upon
any human being
but the one who created him is the
one who created you.
Your mother carried you 9 months.
His mother carried him 9 months.
You eat
and you go to the toilet.
He eats and he goes to the toilet.
He answered the call of nature.
So what difference?
There's no difference between you
and him or
Down to earth, man. Down to earth.
Be humble.
A
bit of humility and humbleness.
They mentioned in the books of the, they
attributed
this statement and saying to.
He said,
oh, son of Nan
oh, son of Adam,
That's the definition
of a human being.
Giving
You're beginning.
So your definition
your beginning
is a drop
a drop of
despicable
fluid of *.
Despicable
seminal drop of seminal fluid,
the sperm.
That's your beginning.
That sperm came from your father,
went into your mother
womb,
fertilize the egg,
and you were more
created.
That's your beginning.
All human beings, this is their beginning.
And your ending?
Russian decayed,
corpse,
corpse.
You have the rocking corpse at the that's
your ending.
In between,
when you are alive,
a mobile vessel
full of waste.
This is your
reality.
This is your reality.
You're beginning
that similar fluid.
You're ending
that
body
which
gives out horrible smell.
That's why we have to rush and bury
the body
because no one can withstand the smell of
the human being.
Human being, if he doesn't take shower for
a few days,
he cannot
you'll not be able to sit next to
him.
He cannot withstand
his smell.
If he doesn't brush his teeth when he
gets up from the morning,
he can't
sit next to your hand.
Animals,
they don't take showers,
and you will not find that horrible smell
from the animals.
But you'll find that smell comes from the
human being.
SubhanAllah.
So this is your beginning.
So about female, feminine fluid,
your ending
is your
end
that
oxygen
body corpse.
In between
walking.
What are you carrying in your tummy?
What do you have inside?
You are trash collector.
Waste collector rather.
You're full of waste.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he
makes us feel
the weakness every day.
He is the CEO,
and he is in the meeting,
and all of a sudden,
excuse me. Excuse me.
He will leave the meeting. The CEO who's
sharing the meeting, he cannot wait.
He has to rush to the toilet
to answer the call of nature.
This year, this president, this
king, he has to rush,
and now he is going to touch the
waste
and the impunity
with his own hands.
That's why the Quran
said regarding
to refute the Christians who are saying Jesus
Christ,
the son of God.
He told them,
Jesus and his mother
used to eat food,
so they cannot be God.
Jesus cannot be God because he eats food.
So when you eat food, you have to
respond to and to the and answer the
call of nature.
God doesn't do these things
because
counseling the call of nature, that means you,
you
are not perfect.
That's why in the Jannah,
no answering
to the call of nature.
No toilets.
No waste in the general
because you are more perfect in the general.
You eat and drink, and then you start
sweating, only sweating.
And the sweat,
as pleasant as the smell of the mask.
So remember this definition of human being
coined and said by our master,
Your beginning,
the top of despicable fluid of similar
similar fluid,
ending, watching corpse
body.
In between, mobile
vessel full of
waste.
So never look upon any human being.
Never.
That's why always consider
anyone. Everyone is better than you.
This will make you humble
and down to earth
and will make you feel,
and you will sympathize,
and you will have sympathy with the people
and empathy
because you feel you are a human being.
Not that you are living in ivory tower.
No.
You are down to earth.
So this beautiful ayah
in Islam
teaches us
that we have to become
real human being,
and we should not become arrogant.
Then
Allah
concluded and ended the ayah.
Allah is truly all knowing.
All knowing.
All know.
He knows.
That's why he created you like that
because he knows.
And there's a wisdom behind that
that he made your intonations.
He doesn't create just like that. No.
When he creates,
his the creation
is based on his
divine wisdom
and all encompassing
knowledge.
His knowledge that encompasses everything.
That's why
he created us
like as we are.
As a matter of fact,
when he created our father Adam,
his
physique, his stature,
his height,
62 arm lengths, cubits.
Then from that time,
he started
Allah made
embedded
in the DNA.
These instructions are there
that the generation
should start to shrink
and get shorter and shorter and shorter.
K?
Because imagine
we remain
like that.
The earth cannot accommodate us.
So he's.
Imagine your houses,
your room, your bed,
your cars.
K? So the human beings are going to
multiply,
so
their sizes also are
changing.
And that's not evolution.
That's adaptation.
K?
So that
the human beings will
the
statue, the height will be
changing, and the people,
they will start to get shorter and shorter.
So
that is
there in Islam. Our prophet
already informed us. And because Nan was that
gigantic,
k, in the past,
so there were huge animals there,
huge animals. They are not there anymore,
ex extinct
because there's no need for them to remain,
The dinosaurs and the mammoths and all that
stuff. No need for them to remain.
K?
And the scientists who are trying to revive
these animals,
they are looking for trouble, to cause trouble
for the human being.
K? To bring the dinosaurs again
by cloning them if they find a dinosaur,
frozen somewhere under,
under ice
and they find
live cells, so they want to clone.
Which animal can can take that?
Can you imagine?
K. Now you stick to this soul, and
you are cloning it, and you are going
to put it somewhere.
In an animal, which animal is going? Because
this is the
animal is going to grow,
which uterus is going to accommodate it.
So Allah alim, he knows what he's doing,
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Alim, he knows,
and he's all aware.
He knows the details.
All the manu details, he knows.
All the details he knows.
So this Ayamidi of all those ancestors
taught us many things.
Taught us that
this
sickness
that
I am the son of so and so
or the descendant of so and so or
my,
genealogy tells me this and that.
It adds nothing.
This will not bring you closer to Allah
at all.
The prophet he
addresses
his clan
his clan,
his uncles,
his arms,
his daughter.
And he told them,
don't come in the day of resurrection
and say, we are your family,
and you didn't do good deeds.
I will not avail you.
I will not be of any avail to
you. I will not be I can't I
can't do nothing for you.
Oh, my aunt, ask me
from my wealth, from my property. What do
you want from me? I will give it
to you. After the day of resurrection, I
can't cannot help you.
Oh, my daughter, father of Muhammad,
the same thing. So
your salvation
dependent on your work.
So everyone
of my family, he's telling them, he has
to work
for his salvation.
Don't depend on your closeness to me that
you are my family,
and you don't work hard, and you don't
strive for your salvation.
Don't do that.
Let us now listen to this beautiful hadith
reported by Imam Khilmuddin in his sonar.
And was authenticated by Sheikh Al Bani
of the Allahu Anhu
Beautiful,
Very beautiful.
The prophet
said,
narrated by
Sayna
The prophet
said,
people
should stop
boasting
about their fathers
who have died
While they are
while they are but calls of *,
calls calls of *, fuel of *.
Although we'll be more humiliated
with Allah than the dung beetle,
the dung beetle, that dirty
insect, rolls
the
the dung and bushes it,
with Allah than the dung beetle
who rolls dung
with his nose.
Indeed,
Allah
has removed
the pride of Jahiliyyah
from you
and its boasting
about lineage.
Indeed,
he said,
indeed, a person is either
a pious believer
or a miserable
sinner,
And people are the children of Adam, and
Adam was created
from dust.
Let us
reflect
and ponder
on this beautiful hadith.
This is warning.
This is
warning
from the pop star seller
telling us
it is better for you to stop.
Leave it.
Quit boasting.
Sham
People should stop
boasting
about their fathers.
Our father's
practice.
Not many Muslims today.
Of course, they
we boast about our achievement, the achievement of
the Muslims in the past.
Fine. Good that
we built this empire, this civilization,
etcetera. We contributed.
Yeah. They did that.
But how about us? We are sleeping.
Shame on us.
Our forefathers, they did
wonders, fame.
May Allah reward them.
But how about you?
Why don't you follow the footsteps
and roll up your sleeves and work hard?
It's better for people to stop and should
stop
and ought to stop,
to stop
boasting about their fathers.
Finish.
That's a nation. Passed away.
They
they passed away,
and they will be
rewarded according to
their actions,
according to what they earn.
And Allah
Allah will not question us about what they
did.
Allah will question everyone about himself.
So what's told us,
He said, a nation passed away.
You'll not be questioned about them.
You'll not be held accountable about what they
did.
And this shows today,
this
sectarian fight
among Muslim.
Those who claim that they love the promise
of and have a debate,
they are looking at the Sunnis.
They are the killers of Ahlul Bayt. They
are the killers of Al Hussein, so they
want to retaliate.
What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
100 and 100 of years,
those who killed Al Hussein
are gone.
So why you want to hold others accountable?
May Allah curse the one who killed Al
Hussein.
And as soon as they didn't kill him,
the one who killed Al Hussein are the
ones
who promised
to support him,
and then they
left him alone.
That is the reality.
That's the reality.
Because our Hussain, when he
he received,
come, come, come.
We'll make you the Khalifa.
So he believed them.
The Sahaba told him, don't go. We know
them.
He didn't
like Hussein,
and the prophet
said he's going to
to be martyred.
He said that.
But no doubt, those who killed him are
criminals.
May Allah curse them. But he should not
hold
generations after generations that they are
the killer of a Hussein,
and they are not.
So
so those,
Allah will deal with them.
And we should not live in the past
and hold innocent ones
accountable and responsible for something they didn't do.
What did they do?
Hey.
So here,
the said,
posting about their fathers who have died,
Then Allah, the prophet said to him,
those whom
you boast and those whom you mention and
say,
my forefathers,
so and so so and so and so
and so.
While they are
but
cause of *,
cause of *,
fuel of hellfire,
like the wood for the hellfire,
cause of *.
They
are going to be fed to the hellfire.
Those whom you are mentioning,
and you
are boasting
about.
In another hadith,
one, he said, I am son of this,
son of this, son of this.
Allah revealed
to one of the prophets to inform him,
and he would be with them also in
the hellfire.
Now all those who may make it in
hellfire, so he will be with them as
well.
So be careful.
While they are back to calls calls of
*,
or they will be more humiliated.
So those you are mentioning
are the inmates of the hellfire.
So what bribe
do you find there
to mention those who are the fuel for
the hellfire?
If you don't stop, this what will happen
to you.
You will be humiliated.
The beetle.
So
you will be humiliated
because of your boasting
about those who are the fuel of the
hellfire.
Like that dung beetle
who rolls dung with his nose,
smelling that horrible
smell.
So you this person will be
humiliated
like that little insect,
the
dung beetle.
So this is very scary hadith.
Very
scared. So
remember this.
Before you say,
oh, we are
remember
remember
what Allah said
in
Remember what said,
your beginning, your ending, and what you're in
between.
And remember this hadith,
the
dung beetle.
If you don't quit, I'll stop this.
Roll up your sleeves and do righteous deeds
and compete
with the people
in piety and righteousness.
K?
You'll he will
be worse than this beetle,
more humiliated,
ahuwanna,
more humiliated
with Allah
than the dung beetle who has all dung
with his nose. More than this.
Then he said, the said,
most certainly,
verily,
Indeed,
Allah
has removed
the pride,
this
of
Yahireh from you
by making you Muslims.
By
equating
all of you.
Yeah. Just like the
the teeth of the *,
equal.
No difference at all.
Allah removed this Has
removed the pride of
from you
by
making you Muslims.
Remember,
one day,
a non Muslim in Medina,
he passed by the
Alsars.
The Alsars are cousins, actually. This is the
name was given to them, supporters,
after Islam
because there were 2 tribes,
al
Aus or Haziraj.
Aus and Al Haziraj,
these are 2 tribes, Yemenites,
all go to the
the tribe of Al Azd.
So all
are Yemenis Yemenites.
Oh,
so before Islam, they used to fight one
another,
and there were
many tribes of the Jews in Medina.
Banu Navir, Banu Qaraydah,
Banu Qa Inuka.
So these tribes of the Jews in Medina,
some they support
Al Aus, some they support
Al Khazalib against 1 and each other, and
they are fighting.
And Benu Koleiva. So there are 4 tribes
4 tribes
of the Jews and Medina.
So some, they support the house, some of
the support the against
the.
Islam came,
made them all brothers.
And the last sent regarding the,
the.
Remember
that you are enemies.
Allah brought your heart together.
By Allah's grace and by Allah's blessing,
you became
brothers.
And you were on the brink and the
edge of the pitch of fire unless Allah
saved you.
K?
So this non Muslim,
when he saw that
the oath and the Hazrat Ansar now as
chatting, laughing,
They're not like Muslims to come together.
So they work day and night to defend
the Muslim
and make them fight to one another.
So this shaitan
decided
to remind them about days of Jahiliyyah,
the battles they used to,
they had
fought each other for
long time.
So he mentioned one of the battles that
happened between them,
and all of a sudden, just by clicking,
that nerve, pressing that nerve,
the button, he pressed the button and he
left.
Now Yahiliya
is back.
They put their swords
to kill each other, Gamzal,
Gamzal, Gamzal.
They forgot the name Gamzal.
They forgot everything.
So one of them ran to
the
quickly before
bloodshed started.
Before they start,
shedding the blood of each other,
killing each other,
and the pubs are selling and running
to them.
And
he
said, What's wrong with you?
Back
to the call of
when
I
am peasant among you?
You go back to Jahiliyyah to the call
of the days of ignorance?
You forgot what Islam did for you,
and I am among you?
Yahuah, leave it. This call of Jahiliyyah,
host, Hazarite, etcetera.
Leave it. It stinks.
Shorten.
When they heard that,
they came to their senses. They realized that
they were fooled
by the non Muslims.
They regret it
and started hugging each other, crying, and
asking
forgiveness.
K?
So here the prophet
is saying,
remove this
pride
of from
you,
and it's boasting
about lineage.
This is the
what is more important.
This is what is more important.
Indeed, a person is either What are the
2?
A
pious,
righteous,
mukmin, believer,
or valued, shakih,
miserable,
sinner,
committing sins.
So you
see where do you fit.
Where do you fit? Which category do you
fit in?
Where do you fit?
The
category of the righteous
or the category of the miserable sinners?
And he reminded them,
Adam.
All mankind,
all
people, all nations,
all the children
of Adam.
Adam was created
from earth, from dust.
So keep this in mind that you are
from the dust, and you will go back
to the dust.
And whatever
is on the earth is dust and will
go back to the dust.
May Allah
save us
from going back on our heels.
May Allah save us and purify
and upload
and eradicate
all these remnants of
we have in our hearts.
May Allah fill our hearts
with humility,
humbleness, and his fear,
and his.
May Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah
give us to remain steadfast
from this beautiful deen
till we meet him and find him pleased
with all of us. And
may Allah unite
our May Allah unite our hearts.
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we will have question and
answers time now, and we have received some
questions already. We'll take them first.
If you have questions, please send them in.
The first question.
Is it permissible to look down on people
who sin publicly?
What should one do in this situation?
For example, shaking hands with the opposite gender,
listening to music, smoking.
We don't look upon the sinners
at all.
So we when we see Muslims committing sins,
we feel pity for them.
We have.
We show
mercy towards them, and we ask Allah to
guide them. And we ask Allah
to show them the right way.
And we thank Allah that he saved us
from doing what they are doing.
We could have been
being in the in the in the places.
It's only Allah who saved us.
K? So when you see someone, when you
see a Muslim,
you should have
in your heart and towards the sinners, and
we are all sinners.
Have this.
You feel
exhibit this kindness
and make dua for them and ask Allah
to guide them. This is the
the way
a Muslim should behave, and that is how
our prophet
he has
in his heart,
Not only towards the Muslim, towards even the
non Muslim
because he's
Rahma
And Sheikh has been came here, he said,
So the people of Sunnah, they know the
truth, and they
show,
okay,
mercy towards mankind.
They show mercy.
K. They don't look upon others. You know,
When he passed in his way
to Jerusalem,
by
a monk
who was performing ablution,
he cried. He said,
a hard worker, but all his works, all
his deeds are in vain
because of the.
K?
And then he cried. He wept, said, now
wept.
Why he wept?
Because he felt.
He's a human being.
He's he thinks that he is
going
to to paradise when he's going to *.
So the the Muslim has this in his
heart always
always
towards non Muslims,
God, may Allah guide them.
That's why we may give them,
and we treat them with kindness, etcetera.
And the same thing
with Muslims.
So when you see a Muslim who
commit sins,
don't
look and say, I am better than him.
You never know.
You never know. Just,
yesterday, a prophet sent me a clip.
1 Sheikh
in Saudi Arabia,
he mentioned the story, true story,
that a Muslim,
he saw the prophet
in the dream
for 3 nights, 3 consecutive nights.
And the prophet
is telling him, go to so and so
and inform him he's going to Jannah. He
is from among the people of the Jannah.
So this Muslim, he went to the Haram
to Makkah
and performed Umrah, and then he started asking
those whom he know about this person,
and they started
searching until they found the place where he
lives.
So he went along with
some brothers with him.
So when they entered the locality, the area,
and they started asking about his name,
the people are looking at them.
What's wrong with you?
You look pious, righteous people,
and you are looking for this,
person?
Evildoer?
He's known. He is a evildoer.
A sinner.
I said, yes. Where is his house? They
told them. This is his house.
They knocked.
They came out. Said, are you so and
so? Said, yes.
So the one who had the dream
listen to this.
The one who had the dream
said, listen.
My prophet
came to me for 3 consecutive nights
telling me go to and
inform him he is going he is one
of the people of.
So the man said, me? I said,
yes. I said, no. No. No. Please don't
mock me. Don't make, make mockery about me.
Don't ridicule.
K? Don't humiliate me.
He said, listen.
I just finished my,
and you can see.
I'm not lying.
I'm telling you.
See?
You don't know me. I'm the worst
in this locality,
the most evil person in this locality.
So the sheikh asked him,
is there anything outstanding
you did? He said, no. No. No. I
don't have anything.
I know myself. I'm horrible person.
Very hard.
K? Say, no. No. Remember. Think.
See, only one thing I can
remember.
See,
my neighbor
passed away,
and he left his wife and young children.
And there was no one to look after
them.
So
I made a vow,
committed myself with the law
that
whenever I receive my monthly salary,
I will divide my salary into 2 halves.
One half for the orphans
and one for me and my family.
And I have been doing this now for
years.
Said that's it.
So come with us. We are going to
the harem. He said, I will not go
to the harem like this.
So wait for me. He went. He took
a shower, dressed nicely.
He went with them.
Throughout the way, he's only crying. He entered
the Haram crying.
Through the salah, he's crying.
The sheikh said, I cried because of his
cry.
And guess what?
The last raka.
He did not raise his head from
the salah and the.
Allah took his soul
in the Haram.
What the people are saying about him
is the most evil one,
and see what's happened?
So never ever
you don't know what people have.
You don't know.
Yes. They are sinners. They are doing apparently,
they have sins,
but you don't know if they have other
deeds that are hidden. You don't know them.
Allah knows them.
And they mentioned to you many stories.
One of my brothers, a doctor, he's working
in the ICU.
He said,
before,
they brought a
there was a car car accident,
and they brought this man who was drunk,
Muslim,
and
the smell of alcohol is coming out.
And he's dying. He's dying. So he's in
the ICU.
I'm there as a doctor,
and I'm seeing him die.
They said the shithan was working on me.
Should I ask him to say the kalimah,
the shahada,
or let him die like that?
Hey. Anyway, he's not going to say it.
He this he said, well, this was going
in my mind.
This alcoholic will not say the.
Then he said I decided to ask him,
say.
He said it and he died.
He said it, and he died.
So Allah is telling this doctor,
it's none of your business.
You don't know what this alcoholic
leave it to me.
Leave it to me. He's my servant.
I created him.
K?
I created him. So I made him save
the,
which you wish to say it when you
want to die.
So always come down to earth.
Never ever
look upon people.
Never.
And another story.
This father
was working with us,
and he has a problem with alcohol.
Alcohol.
And he passed away.
One of our brothers who gave him the
burial was,
he said,
the signs I saw
tell
they tell me
there is something between this man and Allah.
His face was shining. His body was so
flexed.
Good good good signs.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
never
and I will conclude with this also
story
that mentioned by one of the masha'ev,
in
in Tunisia,
and you can hear it on the YouTube.
He said,
I was young in the sixties, I think
this,
and
I want to
call the people to the Masjid
because only the old people, they come to
the Masjid. Young in the sixties,
in Arab world.
Okay? There was a wave of
communism, etcetera.
He said, then I found one
man. I talked to him. I said, yes.
I will come with you. So I felt
very happy
that at least I managed to bring someone
to the masjid.
So he said when we entered the Masjid,
the people in the Masjid, they smelled the
smell of alcohol. I didn't smell it. He
was drunk.
He was drunk.
So they wanted to beat him and throw
him out of the Masjid, and they wanted
also to beat me.
How you bring the someone who is drunk
to the house of Allah? The
elders.
So the imam rushed to our rescue, to
our safety, to save us.
Say no. No. No. No. Leave.
Leave them.
So he talked to the
this man who was drunk.
Go
take a shower.
Go.
Then you can't come and say, no.
No.
I will not go. Dunk.
I want to pray.
So okay. Then okay. So the other they
say, no. He cannot stand with us.
So then the imam said, okay. You can
be there alone by yourself.
And they start the salah.
When they concluded,
this man was still insecute.
So the one who brought him, he said,
he I went to him. I pushed his
body. He fell. He was dead.
This how Allah ended his life,
is to you in the house of Allah.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
have Rahma
in your heart,
and never ever look upon others.
We don't know.
K? You think they are the most evil
ones when they are better than you in
the sight of Allah. I hope this is
clear to the question.
Yeah. Let's clear share. We'll go to the
next question.
If there are 2 authentic students of knowledge,
then should a layman follow only one for
everything they say?
What should the layman do? If the student
of knowledge they choose to follow blindly does
not teach things.
Updated.
Okay?
Right. I'll read that again, Sheikh.
I'm sorry.
They followed up with the updated version.
If there are 2 authentic students of knowledge,
then should a layman follow only one for
everything they say or a mother have?
What should the layman do
if the student of knowledge they choose to
follow blindly does not teach some Islamic things.
Okay. 1 minute. 1 minute. So there are
2 students of knowledge. That means there are
2 or 2 scholars,
okay,
in his area, should he follow only one
of them blindly? The answer, no. You don't
follow one of them blindly.
Okay.
If there are these 2
only in your area, people of knowledge,
you can ask, okay,
both of them.
And let's say, are you just now,
with this scenario?
So let's
say,
Sheikh number 1, Sheikh number 2. Sheikh number
1, when you ask him ask him about
the matter,
he tells you, yeah, this thing is haram.
Haram. That's it.
The second one, you said it is haram
because Allah said this, and the prophet said
this, and the said this. So he gives
you more information.
Now I as a layman,
I feel more confident with this one who
gives me more information and
assurance when he tells me some proofs for
what he's saying.
Though both of them said, naturally,
next time, I will have,
I'll be more inclined towards the one who
gives me proofs and gives me information.
And remember
that the layman,
Allah will not
hold him responsible
more than
what the scholars told him.
K? Because Allah said
first, ask the people of knowledge when you
don't know. And he asked the people of
of of knowledge in his country, and that's
what they told him.
If what the scholar said is wrong,
he is going to be held accountable. Question.
So someone was giving the factual, which is
not
correct,
then the,
the is on the one of who issued
the verdict, who gave the verdict,
not the one who asked the question.
So the layman is on the safe side,
but the layman should ask the one whom
he think is more pious, more righteous,
and the one who gives him more information
whenever he asks him.
This what should be the the the behavior.
This how
the layman should behave.
Regarding,
the remaining part of the question, the last
version, I don't know what do you mean
by the last version.
Objection Islam or what? I don't know.
No, Sheikh. They sent 2 messages.
So they sent an updated version after that.
Saying what? The updated versions. You answered the
question, Sheikh.
I already answered. Right? Yes. Correct. Correct. Okay
then.
Next.
The next question. What is the punishment of
a sibling not giving the full rights
to their other siblings
of inheritance?
One parent has passed away and the other
is sick to the point of not being
able to speak, eat, walk, or write.
So it seems that the siblings
in charge of the parents
who's still
alive have been hiding the full wealth of
the parents from the other siblings.
So
what is the punishment of a sibling not
giving the full rights to the other siblings
of inheritance?
This is haram.
This is haram to
deprive the
legal,
legitimate, eligible heirs from,
of their
of their share
of the inheritance.
It's totally prohibited.
So may you send?
How long?
K. And
a day will come when they will.
So it's better for them to repent
and turn to Allah
and give their brothers
their rights.
And now this one who was deprived of
his share,
he should ask for it. And if they
refuse,
he can file a case, go to the
court,
and he will get his right by force
by force
because this is his right or her right.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Next.
The next question,
Can you please explain the reason why a
person's eye would remain open after death
and even when they
persisted
during
their burial?
The prophet of the soul when he told
us, he said when the soul leaves the
body, the sight
traces
and traps
the soul.
So it looks look it up. That's why
he said you
close the eyes and you put down the
lids of the eyes.
K?
That is the what the prophet
told us.
So when someone died, you'll find his eyes.
Sight is looking up the eyes, then we
put them down and and put down the
the legs of the eyes down.
I hope this is clear to the question.
Next.
Let's we'll go to the next question.
Dear Sheikh,
kindly can you please explain the difference
between Qibla and Kaaba?
The is the direction.
Direction of the Kaaba is called the because
that is where your
your your face your face.
K?
That is the direction your faces. This is
the. So if I ask you, where is
the direction of the,
which is Mecca?
You tell me this is the direction of
the.
The Kaaba is that object.
K? It's that object,
which is cubicle and people they face.
So that's why
when we are not seeing the Kaaba,
we pray towards the direction of the Kaaba.
But when we are seeing the Kaaba,
we look at
the Kaaba itself.
That's why you'll find the rows are circular.
The rows around the Kaaba are circular
because everyone is looking at the Kaaba.
This one,
this one, this one. So all those who
are in the circumference,
they they are looking to the Kaaba.
So this the
the the rows are circular
because if it is a straight rows like
this,
this one will be facing towards
somewhere else, not the Kaaba.
And this one, not some towards the Kaaba.
But because now we are seeing the Kaaba,
so all of us, we have to
look at the Kaaba, so that's why the
roads are circular.
But if we are not seeing the Kaaba,
we look we face the direction of the
Kaaba, which is Mecca. I hope this is
clear to the question.
Next.
Let's go to the next question.
Issues we are having with climate change and
man's impact on the earth, one of the
signs of how the earth will be destroyed.
Is this sign of the of the Earth,
how is the that it's going to be
destroyed?
Are the issues we are having at the
moment with climate change
and the man's impact on the earth,
one of the signs of how the earth
will be destroyed?
Corruption has appeared
in land and sea
because of what the hands of human beings
earned.
So who's causing this,
global warming,
environmental
pollution?
Human beings.
K?
You know, the
in the, I think, 18th century or 17th
century when the industrial revolution started,
all the industries, they
they
were situated
and started in places that are close to
to rivers,
okay,
to use the the water,
okay, for cooling cooling the systems.
And there were then
all factories and towns, they
generate
waste.
Waste.
Chemicals.
And they used to this, we call it
the effluent.
They dump it into the rivers,
and they
cause ecological problem. They polluted the ecology, the
environment.
K. Only recently, maybe 30 years or 40,
they started
talking about,
HSE.
HSE,
health, safety, environment.
K?
And now and then started imposing and endorsing
regulation
to control the emission
of gases from the factories, from the the
plants,
and dumping the waste to the seas of
the rivers.
So there are bodies regulating that.
But for years, they were
damaging the environment,
and all these gases emitting
emitting
to the atmosphere
affected the ozone layer, etcetera.
So this corruption who caused this corruption?
Man, by his stupidity
and his ignorance and arrogance.
Man thinks he knows when he doesn't.
So pollution now everywhere.
So you see now this is what is
happening
because there is imbalance.
Who caused this imbalance? Allah created everything in
state of equilibrium,
in state of balance.
So who caused this disturbance?
We, human beings.
Because Allah created everything in order
in order.
But whenever we fiddle with Allah's creation, whenever
we put our hands,
we spoil. We don't amend.
This is the reality.
So what we are seeing,
places are
known to have friends, no doubt,
and places
people are,
swept by the floods.
Totally
different. K?
And no doubt,
Allah behind all these things.
But
what are the root causes
and who caused them?
Because Allah set everything in balance, and we
are causing this imbalance.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
All lines clear. We'll go to the next
question.
I'm looking at marriage. Do we only focus
on character and and not worry as to
whether the man is less educated than the
wife? For example, the wife is a doctor
and the man a
teacher
or courier.
Okay.
But he's a man, isn't he?
He's a man who can take care of
you, who can look after you,
and he's responsible.
And you love him. You like him.
So
you were given the chance to become a
doctor. He didn't get that chance
due to circumstances,
but he's a man that you can count
on after Allah
K. Hard worker.
This should not stop you from marrying
him.
K. No one is forcing you, but
you like the man. He's okay.
K. The problem is the
the qualifications.
Okay.
You want to marry him?
That is your choice.
If he's pious, righteous,
and
he's able to look after you and after
your family and after the children,
go ahead.
You want to marry a doctor.
That is your choice,
but maybe no doctor will come,
and years are passing away.
Then by the time you
decide to accept anyone, no one is interested.
So think about it. And at the end
of the day, you pray
and leave the message to Allah.
May Allah
bless
you, the pious, righteous partner
who will make you feel happy in this
life
and
help you to reach also the
together.
And may Allah bless you with pious progeny,
pious offspring, pious children. Amen.
Next question, please.
The next question, sheriff.
Sheikh, should we stop people who praise his
* in front of us?
Yes.
So the
said you are cutting his throat.
You want to praise your brother in his
absence, not in his presence.
Next.
Regarding one of the questions was which was
asked about the eyes closing.
His this person is referring to that question.
His lid was
brought down, but one lid refused to close.
The question I wondered if this was a
sign of his soul being punished.
Oh, these are speculations.
The link didn't come.
It's not a sign. It's not an indication
of anything.
Next question, please.
The next question. Can a Muslim combine prayers
due to fear of falling asleep
and
or if he feels extremely tired?
As an exception not to do it on
a regular basis.
If that is the case,
the answer is
if it is real real
needed.
Next.
Sheikh, that was the final question of tonight's
session. If you'd like to conclude,
May Allah bless you. Bless your family. Protect
you. Protect your family. May Allah elevate your
status of this world and
May Allah
He must remain steadfast from this beautiful deen
till we meet Allah
and find him pleased with all of us.
Ameen. May Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance,
And
may
Allah
unite
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters immensely, for your patience
and attendance.
Until we meet
in the coming session, I leave you in
Allah's
company
and protection.
