AI: Summary ©
AI: Transcript ©
It's now ready when you
inshallah. Okay. Let's begin
inshallah.
Brothers and sisters,
Welcome to our weekly of
with the honorable Sheikh, Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I'll pass the mic on the screen to
the Sheikh and Sheikh. Can begin, Insha'Allah. Don't
forget for the.
And now we do the he means should
really and foresee that when you say at
the armelina.
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today is
our weekly class,
issues of the days of Jahiliyyah.
And we are talking about,
some of the main
characteristics
and features
of the Jahiliyyah of the Arabs before Islam.
And I hope by now, you are the
concept of Jahiliyyah
is clear in the mind of each one
of you,
that when you this term you hear Yahiliya,
simply it is
state of mind.
Whoever is in that state
but rejects
the totally
or partially
the divine guidance,
liberation,
the message
from Allah
the creator, the heavens, and the earth
to mankind
for their own guidance, for their own benefit.
If you reject that and you say, no.
I am not in need
of any guidance. I know
how to
run my own life.
I know how to run my mundane
affairs,
so I'm not in need of any
guidance
from anyone.
So when you are in that state, this
is the state of Jahiliyyah,
and
this state of Jahiliyyah exists throughout.
Before Islam,
there was total Jahiliyyah covering the entire earth.
After Islam,
the Jahiliyyah became
in certain areas
among the kafar.
The kafar, they have total Jahiliyyah.
Among the Islam,
Jahiliyyah
as total is not there,
but there is light.
Okay, that dissipates the ignorance,
but
there are pockets of Jahiliya,
individuals who have Jahiliya, etcetera.
So this is the concept of Jahiliya.
Among the
main features
of the Jahiliyyah, of the Arabs, what the
Arabs were doing,
is this
blind
followship
and imitation
of their ancestors.
So they follow
their forefathers,
what they inherited from them
blindly
without thinking,
without
criticizing
and critiquing it,
and see
if these practices
are okay or not.
No.
They just follow
blindly,
imitate,
and
follow the footsteps
of their forefathers,
their ancestors.
And this is a sickness,
and it exists still exists in many
places,
many individuals,
many communities.
People, they don't think.
Yesterday,
I saw a clip.
A brother sent it to me
that
in a non Muslim
community,
the
the priest
or the clergyman
or the,
teacher
or whatever you want to call him,
k, the religious figure leader,
the government
constructed
solar panels
in that area, in that village,
so
that
power can be
generated using this solar energy.
They are
polytheists worshiping
the sun, the moon, etcetera.
So this religious
leader and teacher told the masses,
the panels, they
stop the sunlight
from reaching us.
Guess what? You can go and check and
see it by your own eye.
So immediately,
blind followers, they started
smashing
and destroying
the solar panels
immediately.
So this is the
when you don't use your mind,
when you just behave like a flock of
sheep.
That's it.
You follow the shepherd.
No way. You don't think.
My dear brothers and sisters,
Islam
has given Allah. He has given us
this intellect, this aqal, which is a blessing,
this gray matcha.
We have to use it
and
to reason.
Allah in many places in the Quran
describing those who do not think,
get them blind.
They
are like the cattle. Indeed, they are worse
than the cattle.
Because they
just
follow with our thinking.
Blind fellowship,
blind imitation
of the forefathers,
the ancestors.
Today,
how many practices are there in the communities?
They don't make any sense.
Superstitions.
Superstitious
practices.
People practice them.
Celebrate
them.
K?
People they don't think.
Allah
subhanahu
wa
ta'ala
says,
23
to 24.
Okay.
The meaning,
similarly,
whenever we send a warner
to a society
before you, oh prophet,
its spoiled elite
its
spoiled
elite
would say,
we found our forefathers
following
a particular way,
and we are walking in their footsteps.
Let us pause and reflect.
So here, Allah tells us
and addressing the prophet telling him, what is
what you are what you are facing and
this opposition you face
from
your people
is not in you.
It's normal.
It had been there.
All your
brothers,
all the prophets, and the messengers
who came before you,
they
met such opposition.
That's why
Remember, the Hadith al Bukhari,
when the
Herakul Herakul
he had
a dream
that this is the time of
a prophet,
and his followers will be circumcised.
So he was disturbed by such dream.
So when he related it to those around
him
because he was a religious person,
He reads the scripture,
and he knows.
He knows the prophecy
in the book of Deuteronomy,
the coming of the paraclete. He knew he
knows he knew that.
So when he related his dream, they told
him, don't worry.
Only the Jews circumcise.
No one else.
Nobody
practices
circumcision
except the Jews.
Then they found some Arabs
in Damascus,
and they checked them, and they found them
circumcised.
So they told him,
the Arabs
also, they
practice this circumcision.
So he asked them to bring
the
those Arabs.
Among them was the.
By then, he was not a Muslim.
So,
they came from Mecca for business.
So he asked them,
what anything happened in your
area? The city is.
A man from among us,
he announced that he is
inspired
and he is a prophet from Allah.
So here, when you heard this,
he said,
who is very the closest among you to
him?
That means
a
relative
from the
family point of view was one of his
relative, they say, Abusafian,
who said, come.
And
he kept the rest behind him,
standing behind him
so he cannot see them.
And he said to them,
tell the people, I'm going to ask this
man about this
prophet.
And if he tells a lie,
tell me that he told he lied to
you.
So he started asking about Sophia,
how is he among you
from the
family wise?
Is he from
the
nobles of full families or what? Tell me
about his.
He said he's from the best of us.
His family is one of the best of
our families.
Said, okay.
Was any
of his forefathers
a king? He said, no.
Does he lie? No.
He's the we call him the trustworthy.
Have you fought him? Yes. We fought him.
And sometimes he wins. Sometimes we win.
Does he betray
break us the promise?
No.
He doesn't reach
any promise.
He doesn't break any promise.
Are his followers
the rich, the elite,
or the poor, and the downtrodden?
No.
His followers are the poor, the downtrodden, the
slaves.
He said, I knew
I knew
that this is a time for the prophet
to
appear,
but I was not expecting him to be
from among you.
I wish I am there
at his feet to wash his feet.
So here,
I was,
Herakles
describe
that normally the followers
of all the prophets will be the poor,
the needy, the destitute, the downtrodden,
not the elite.
The elite,
the out history,
are the enemies and the opponents
for all problems and messengers.
Why?
Because
messengers and prophets,
they come with
divine message from Allah,
and this message
calls for
justice
that people
are all the same, children of Adam.
No one is better than the other.
No one.
The criterion
in the sight of Allah
is the piety and right righteousness
of an individual.
If you are more pious and righteous
than me,
then you are the,
the best,
and you are better, and you are the
best in the sight of Allah.
Otherwise,
it's not
the color of the skin. It's not the
the fortune you have. It's not the social
status. It's not the perfect profession. No.
Not not like that.
So
now reflect on this ayah and see.
Similarly,
oh, prophet Muhammad, whenever
we sent a warner
warner,
messenger.
Because the messengers on prophecy were warned, warning
the people
against
evils, against,
polytheism,
against,
committing sins,
to warn the people, come
and worship
Allah
alone.
No
came to any community because Allah sent warners
and messages
to every community,
all the people throughout history.
No community
no people can come on the day of
the lockdown and say, oh,
no one came to me.
I will say.
I
know we do a lot with.
Where do we have? Send to every community,
every nation,
messenger,
warning, proclaiming,
announcing,
shun and leave
and desert
false objects of worship,
false deities,
and worship Allah.
Now
the messenger comes
with the message of justice
and teaching the people equally,
fairly.
The elite, the upper class,
they don't like that.
They want to remain
controlling
everyone.
They want to keep control controlling the poor
under the the thumbs,
exploiting them.
That's what they want. Even today.
Even today?
So,
Allah said,
Those who are in the chaff,
the well of the rich.
K? Those who own the corporate
the corporates,
big companies,
they are the ones.
So whenever we send a woman to a
society before you or prophet,
it's
elite
spoiled elite would say,
What are you calling us to?
We found our forefathers
following the particular way, Allah.
Umma here doesn't mean nation. It means way
because Umma has different meanings.
Nation,
way,
period of time, or
had remembered after
a period of time. So it depends on
the context.
That's why you need to study Arabic.
That
means way.
Certain
way of
of practices
certain practices.
That's how
we found our forefathers,
following a particular way.
And we are walking in their footsteps. So
we don't want to follow what you are
inviting us to. We don't want that.
We will carry on following what we found
our forefathers
doing.
We'll continue.
We're
in we
will follow
their footsteps and check on their path.
So
blind
fellowship,
blind imitation.
So they are telling
the prophet
we don't
want your message.
We will not listen to you. We will
follow what we found our forefathers
doing.
And this is the problem.
Today,
there are many things among the Muslims people
are doing,
which are has nothing to do with Islam,
social practices.
And these practices, they go against
the Islamic teachings.
Yet when you address these issues,
they tell
you this how we
we grew up.
This how we found our fathers.
Are you telling us that our fathers and
forefathers,
they were mistaken?
So they consider
their forefathers
invaluable.
They don't make mistakes.
So what? Your fathers, they were mistaken.
May your love forgive them.
But this, what you are doing is not
allowed. It's haram. It's not aligned with the
Islamic teachings.
Why do you insist?
No. No. No. No. They cannot be they
cannot be mistaken. They cannot be wrong,
so we will continue.
This is one of the obstacles
you will come across
and face.
Oh, they will tell
you, other people are doing it?
Do you mean that you are the only
one who's correct,
and all
the rest are mistaken?
That's their argument.
Oh, the people are wrong, and you are
the only one
who's upon the truth.
This cannot be.
They don't reflect. They don't reason.
They don't pause and say,
let us let us
he let us pay attention
to the message, to what he's saying.
He is coaching
Quran,
and he is coaching Hadid.
They will not listen to you.
Then Allah said the to follow. That was
ayah 23
Then ayah 24, Allah said.
Each one
asked
the nation to whom he was sent
even
even
if what I brought you
I brought you
is better guidance than what you found your
forefathers
practicing.
They replied,
we totally reject whatever you have been sent
with.
That
adamant and that arrogance they were.
So
imagine
a prophet
argues with his
with his nation, with his people,
reasoning with them.
You are saying this how we found our
forefathers. Well,
what if I what I bring for you
is better than
what your forefathers were doing.
No.
We will not listen to you.
It's better in guidance.
It's better for you
even if what I told you is better
guidance
than what you found your forefathers practicing.
No.
We will not accept it.
It. See their arrogance,
their ignorance.
They were determined. They made up their mind.
Follow?
They replied.
They said,
We totally reject whatever you have been sent
with.
This what you came down with,
you received
from god,
we disbelieve in it.
We reject it. We don't want it.
Today,
many people, they do the same.
We don't want Sharia.
Right? Have you heard this?
The feminist,
modernists,
We don't want
Sharia. We don't we don't want the law
of Allah.
Then they will be exposed.
So they have to beat
above the bush
by saying
Sharia
was applicable for a certain period of time
in the past,
not for our time.
But they will not dare to say
it explicitly,
but they are against it.
They're against it.
How you will cut the hand of the
thief
or stone people to death
if they commit?
What's wrong if a man and a woman,
they have mutual
consent?
They agree.
They are.
What's the problem
to fulfill their desires together? He's not dreaming
her. She is willing. What's the problem with
that?
The problem, it is against
what the creator says. That's the problem.
And this world
needs to be run according to what he
wants
because what he sent is for our own
benefit.
So if we reject
God's word,
divine guidance,
the revelation
will be
lost, and we'll be we will go astray
and we'll be suffering and we'll be
having miserable life as
as it is.
These people are suffering.
No. No. Sharia,
not for our time, not for
this
era.
Used to be, but not now.
So they are rejecting
what Allah
said. They replied,
reject whatever you have been sent to it,
which is kufa.
If you reject anything
Allah sent,
that is disbelief.
That is apostasy.
That takes you out of Islam. You will
not be a Muslim at all.
You'll be out
if you reject anything
of Allah's
teachings.
Allah
sent this
book, the Quran and the sunnah of the
prophet
for our guidance.
So to reject it or reject part of
it,
this will take one out of the fault
of Islam.
And the
ulama, the Muslim scholars, they studied the different
types
of disbelief.
I hope that you are taking notes.
They studied the different types of Quhr
disbelief,
and they found
that
the
different types of
disbelief
fall into 4 main categories
Four main categories.
K. And they fall under
the
major shirk.
Because as you know, shirk,
associating,
parting with the law, are 3 types,
major shirk,
minor shirk,
and hidden shirk,
inconspicuous
shirk. So there are 3 types of shirk.
Major one takes you out of a swamp.
Minor doesn't take you out of a swamp.
The hidden one is the showing
and
the shawen.
So these four types, they fall under
the major shirk
shirk to Akbar.
Because shirk and kova, these two terms can
be used
synonymously
and interchangeably.
So every kava is a moshriq, and every
moshriq is kava.
So there are 4 types of kuford,
4 under the major Sheikh.
The first one
is called
which means
this disbelief
disbelief of
denying and belaying the revelation.
Belaying,
you belay
and deny
the revelation.
You don't accept the revelation.
You don't accept what Allah says.
So this is
with Takdeed.
So you
rely, you don't believe, you don't accept, and
you reject.
You deny.
Allah talks
about this particular type of disbelief.
In Surat Al Baqarah,
the cow chapter
tip number 2,
verse
aya 89.
The meaning,
Allah says.
And when they came to them,
to them, that means people of the book,
can refer to the book of Tafsir.
And when they came to them,
people of the book,
a book, this Quran, from Allah confirming
that
that
confirming
what is with them confirming what is with
them, that means the Torah
and the injil, the Torah and the gospel.
Although
a 4th time
a 4th time before that, although a 4th
time,
they had invoked
a law
invoked a law
for the coming
of the prophet mentioned,
the coming of Muhammad,
the public lead,
in order to gain
victory
over those who disbelieved.
Then when then then
when there came to them that which they
had recognized,
they disbelieved in it.
So let the curse of Allah
be on
the disbelievers.
Let us pause as if next.
So here,
Allah
tells us,
remember
what I mentioned in the beginning.
Hercules,
Heracle,
k,
the emperor of the Romans,
He said, I knew that this is a
time
because
it is clearly mentioned
in this scripture,
in the old testament.
This is the
the paraclete
in Hebrew,
Mohammed.
Mohammed.
Mohammed
or Mohammed, which means
the praised one
or Ahmed
again,
the place to one.
That's why the Jews,
they migrated
and settled in Medina.
Why
Medina?
Because they knew
that he will
migrate to Medina,
and they were expecting him to be from
among them,
from among
the children
of Ishmael,
because the Jews are descendants
of Ishmael
or Ishmael,
alaihis salam,
because Ibrahim,
Abraham
has 2
sons,
Ishmael,
Ishmael,
and Isaac.
So the Jews are the descendants
of Isaac.
Aliyah Salam.
The
Arabs are the descendants
of descendants
these descendants of
Ishmael Ishmael.
So, actually, they are cousins.
So they were expecting
this prophet
to be from among the children
of Isaac, not the children
of Ishmael.
So they were expecting that, and they were
telling
always
because
there
were some types of the Jews
settled in Medina.
These tribes settled in Medina.
And in
Medina,
there were 2
tribes,
Aus
and
the and are cousin,
and all of them are Yemenites.
They came from Yemen.
So all the Ansar are Yemenis
came from Yemen,
from this tribe,
Aus and the Hazarit, and they are all
go back to the tribe of.
Now and, of course, there were fights
from time to time will,
take place in Medina.
So they usually used to tell the
the Arabs,
this is a time
of a prophet
who will come and will believe in him
and follow him and then will fight you
along with
him and wipe you out.
This what we'll
do.
That's why the the
and the when they heard about the
they said, this is the man the Jews
were talking about.
Let us believe in him before they believe
in him.
But what happened?
What happened?
They knew
that he was the prophet.
They knew that.
That's why Sophia
said
Sophia
became a wife of the prophet later
on. He said, when the prophet
arrived in Medina,
my father
and my
uncle,
they went to see the prophet because the
Quran told us
they know him very well,
very well.
I cannot make a mistake
because he was described
with all the details.
His description
description in the in in their books, in
the Torah is
so clear.
He said they went in the morning,
and they only came in the evening.
And when I
saw them,
I saw there were sad,
sad looks on their faces.
And I heard one of them talking to
the other
saying,
what do you think of him?
He said, he is.
He is the prophet.
He is the prophet that
we are expecting.
Then
he asked him again,
what should we do?
He said, we will fight him.
This is the prophet
mentioned in your books,
and you know he is the prophet from
sent by Allah.
And instead of
following him and believing him,
You are saying we will fight him?
So this this type
of kufos.
K? They are denying him, rejecting
him,
relying him
when they know
he is the prophet of Allah.
They know he's the
prophet sent by Allah
That's why Abdullah Nus Salam
Abdullah Nus Salam was a rabbi Jewish rabbi.
He came to the
and asked the prophet certain questions. And when
the
prophet answered his questions, he became a Muslim
became a Muslim.
So here Allah is
saying,
So when a book came to them
k. From Allah.
Confirming
and approving of what is mentioned
in the previous descriptions in the Torah.
Before the
coming of prophet Muhammad
they had invoked Allah.
They invoked Allah Allah. Oh, send this prophet
that we are expecting.
So
they were threatening
and telling the disbelievers,
the Arabs,
that this is the time of a prophet
to come. We'll believe in him, and
we'll fight you.
Volkaniyasif
Tihun had invoked a lie in order to
gain victory over those who disbelieved.
When the truth came to them,
what they know came to them?
When they came to them
When there came to them that which they
had recognized,
since the they're
not,
they disbelieved in it.
So let the curse
of Allah be upon the disbelievers.
Also, Allah said
in Surat Al Baqarah as well,
Aya 146.
So remember,
this type of kufr al juhud
kufr al juhud.
Let's take a read.
Allah subhanahu wa'ala says,
and aya 146.
Those we have given the scripture
recognize
this prophet
as they recognize
their own children.
Yet,
a group of them hides the truth knowingly
Knowingly.
Not unknowingly.
No. Knowingly.
Pose and reflect, my dear brothers and sisters.
Those that we have given them,
The scripture, the holy scripture,
the taller that
was given to Moses.
The injil, the gospel
that was given to Esau
at Inaul Kitan.
And Allah
gave them this title,
people of the book.
The people of the book,
to differentiate between them
and to
differentiate
them from
the rest.
The rest of mankind,
they don't have this scripture,
like the pagans.
So Allah
entrusted
the learned men among the Jews and the
Christians
with the scripture,
but
they
adulterated
the scripture. They modified the scripture. They played
with the scripture.
But some of the truth remained,
fragment,
portions of the truth.
So Allah says,
those whom we have given
the kitab, the scripture.
They know him.
They know the papa. They recognize
this prophet.
Come
on. As
as they know their own children,
Of course,
no father will make a mistake
between his children.
He knows this
is his child.
This is his child.
If he finds his child playing in the
alleys, he would know, though, that is my
child.
So he now.
They know the prophet
very well.
You know Salman al Farisi?
K. His father was
the one who was in chief of the
fire fire worshipper in in Persia,
And Salman was the one who was always,
putting the wood to the fire so the
fire should not die.
And he saw
some Christians.
Group of Christians came,
and he
went to them. And they talked to him,
and he liked what they
told him, and he followed them.
And he was with the Christians,
and he was also with
one of the landed men
serving him because he was looking for the
truth, searching for the truth, Salman, of the
Allahu Anhu.
Then this old man,
the police or the landed man,
when he was dying,
he told Salman,
Now I'm dying and leaving this world so
he can go and learn from another one,
and he re
nominated another one who is
his knowledge equivalent to his,
and Salman also.
And then that one also
is,
grew old, and now he's dying, he told
him.
I don't know anyone
who is on the religion and the true
belief of
the,
Ibrahim
and the monotheistic
creed.
I don't know anyone,
but this is a time of a prophet
to come.
And he described
and told him he's going to
appear in Arabia, then he will migrate to
Medina.
So Salman,
he asked the Arabs to take him. Some
he found some,
Arabs. He asked them, can you take me
with you
to
Arabia?
They enslaved him. They took him, and they
sold him as a slave.
So he was a slave,
k,
working in Medina as a slave with
some of the,
Jewish tribes.
So when the prophet
arrived in Medina,
he rushed to the prophet,
and he was
told, and he read
that the prophet
does not eat
charity.
Anything
as given to him as charity, he doesn't
he will not eat any
anything that is
given as charity to him.
So he went and to the prophet
and the prophet
was
sitting with his companions, and
he took bucket full or plate
full of dates.
And he said, this is charity.
He wanted to to check.
Is he going to eat?
If he touches it, then he's not the
prophet.
So when he told the prophet
this is sadaqa,
he pushed it.
He pushed the plate
and gave it to the companions. Sahara
said, eat. I don't eat.
Saddam now said,
this is 1.
He came another time, and he said,
this is present gift.
The prophet
said, Bismillah,
and he touched and he
ate from
it.
So Salman now is
looking for all the signs, all the prophecies,
and
all are fulfilled
except one.
He wants
to see it.
It is mentioned
that he has the seal of prophethood
between his shoulders,
the prophet
the seal of the
between his shoulder,
a small growth
covered with few hairs.
But, normally, that is covered
by the the
the the shirt and the glove.
How how to see it? How to see
it?
Until one day, the prophet
was in the
graveyard,
Baqir,
burying
some of the Sahaba,
one of the Sahaba,
and he was sitting.
So Selman came from behind, and he was
looking down.
The prophet
knew what he wanted to
he wanted to see,
So he lowered the
the shirt
to say,
Salman, you want to see this?
When he saw it finished, that's it. Enough
for him.
That was enough for him. He became a
Muslim.
So here, Allah
tells
us from this
1 146.
Those
who we have given
the scripture, recognizing
this prophet.
Not this prophet. Come out of the phone
now. As they
recognize
their
own children.
Then Allah said,
Yet
a group of them eyes the truth knowingly
and see the
the
accuracy
and the fairness and the justice and the
of the Quran and Allah
He didn't say all of them.
He didn't say all of them, they hide.
No. He said, very some of them.
Some of them, they hide the truth.
Some, they don't.
Abdullah ibn Salam
didn't hide the truth, and he became a
Muslim.
Yet a group of them
Some of them.
A group of them.
They
hide the truth.
So this is
an example
of this type of kufr, kufr jerud,
the disbelief,
and
which is based on denying
and relying.
Also, Allah says,
I have 33.
We certainly know that what they say
grieves you, oh, prophet.
It is not your
honesty
they question.
It is a large signs
that the wrongdoers
deny.
So here,
Allah described
what the prophet
was going through
when they rejected him
and they didn't accept him.
Allah
saved.
And this is a clear cut evidence that
the Quran is from Allah.
They're not concocted and made by Muhammad
Because the Quran in many places talks about
the prophet
and mention things that,
no one will like to mention about himself.
We know.
We know that what they say causes
you grief,
sadness,
hushan,
sorrow.
We certainly know
that what they say grieves you,
makes you feel sad.
Then Allah told the prophet,
consoling his prophet,
The reality
of prophets,
they are not belaying you. They are belaying
me.
They are rejecting
what I have sent.
You are known to them.
They know you don't lie. They are not
questioning your honesty
or trustworthiness.
They know that.
But this is the arrogance here.
They are arrogant,
so they are rejecting the truth.
And imagine the prophet
was known
among them.
He's not a liar.
A.
They're trustworthy.
Even
when he told them that he's a prophet,
he remained
a.
Imagine
they would come to him
and entrust him with their valuables.
Hammed,
keep this money, keep this gold,
keep these these precious stones with you
because I trust you.
Which means inside them, they know
he is a prophet.
How can you
give your valuables,
your fortune, your
precious stones, your gold
to someone you are calling him? He's mad.
He gives
your money to a mad person
because they know he's not mad. We know
that.
So that's why
when he migrated the prophet
from Makkah
to Medina,
he left Ali behind.
Why?
He told him
and gave him a list
of the
items of the people
that
they were
kept with him, telling Ali,
give everyone
his valuables,
his precious stones,
his money, whatever
he he gave it to me.
Give everyone his.
So what I'm telling here,
It's not your honesty
they question.
No. No.
No. You are known to them.
It is Allah's signs
that the wrongdo was denied.
They know that.
Also,
Allah says
insulat al Namil, I f 14,
regarding Faraun, the people of Faraun.
And they belied
them.
They belied that verses and the ayaat and
the proofs.
Wrongfully
and arrogantly,
though
their own selves were convinced thereof.
So Moses showed them the science,
so
showed the pharaoh
the science, the medicals.
Yet they belied, and they rejected.
And they belied them,
the verses, the signs, the ayah they saw,
wrongfully and arrogantly,
though inside them,
around in you.
This
is sent by Allah, and he is a
prophet. He knew that.
Their own selves were convinced thereof.
So
see what the end of the
mussideen
was.
The disbelievers,
the corruptors, the mischievers,
the
mafsiddeen.
So Faroan and his people
realize
he's a prophet
inside
them.
But upon their chance, no. He's a magician.
Call the magicians,
bring magicians,
but inside them,
they know.
So that's why
those
of
our time, the
of our time
He was saying, iman only is in the
heart, and iman is only to believe in
your heart.
If you believe in your heart, that's enough.
No need for the actions
to to them.
Are you saying that Farahun is? He
knew
in his heart as Allah is saying.
They know.
The belief is not enough.
There should be amal. There should be actions.
And also, my dear brothers and sisters,
falls under this category,
falls under this category.
Whoever makes
the lawful, unlawful, and the unlawful, lawful.
Anyone who gives
himself
the right
to legislate,
to make laws,
to make haram and haram,
to say this thing is haram and this
thing is haram,
and then to come and say this is
that is haram.
I am making it haram.
This thing that is I
will make it
This thing that is
I make it.
An example,
to marry more than one wife is halal.
No.
Man made your says
a loafer.
You cannot have more than one wife,
but you can have many mistycings.
Allah says alcohol is unlawful, not will make
it lawful.
Otherwise,
tourism will be affected.
How can we attract the tourists
without making
the kamal,
liquor,
alcohol halal?
So we have to make it halal.
Allah says
Zina
is unlawful. No.
How can we attract people?
So we have to legalize
restitution
and have
red light district.
So the will make it.
All it says,
homosexuality
and all these evil, evil deeds. I love
them. No. We'll make them lawful,
and we will
enact those and
make them things legal.
So anyone who does something like this,
he
is out of Islam.
He is not a Muslim.
He committed
cover.
Major cover
takes him out of the fold of Islam
and falls under this cover of Jerud
and Takhtib,
simply because you belay Allah.
Allah says it is haram. You say, no.
It is haram.
You belay Allah.
Allah saying it is haram? No, it is
haram.
So then you are rejecting
what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says.
And this what Allah mentioned
clearly.
You know,
we have to call
mention the truth and call a spade a
spade.
Should not be afraid.
Muslim day every Muslim should wake up
and know
these are red lines you cannot cross.
So Allah says, Surat Tawba, ayah
31.
So Allah says,
they have taken their rabbis and monks as
well as the messiah,
son of Mary,
as loads
besides
Allah.
Loads besides Allah.
Even though they were commanded to worship none
but one god,
there's no god worthy of worship except him,
glorified as he above what they
associate with him. Let us pause and reflect.
They,
Jews and Christians,
they have taken,
a habaara whom they rabbis, learned men
among the Jews, and monks, learned men among
the Christians,
Al Ba'ada. They have taken their rabbis
and the monks
and Riza,
the messiah,
as lords besides
Allah besides Allah, in addition to Allah.
When
it
had even happened
had even happened,
he heard the prophet
reading. He say, oh, prophet of Allah,
because Ali was Christian before.
Oh, prophet of Allah,
we did not worship them. We did not
take them as lords, we said.
That means Adi understood that
that when you make someone your lord, you
worship, you you
no.
The prophet corrected his
understanding,
and he told him,
didn't they,
the rabbis and the monks,
didn't they
make the unlawful
lawful and the lawful unlawful, and you followed
them? He said, yes.
Said that's how you worship them.
That's how you took them as lords besides
Allah,
by obeying them.
So if the parliament
says something
and you accept it
and it goes against what Allah said, then
you have taken the parliament
as your landlord besides Allah.
And this is made if she takes you
out of Islam.
If you accept from any human being
to legislate
and to tell you something,
Allah made it halal haram. And Allah made
it haram, and he made it halal, and
you accept that, then you are not a
Muslim.
K?
Even though they were commanded to worship none
but
one god.
If no god will do worship except
him,
glorified is he above what they associate
with him. May Allah
save us from going astray.
May Allah keep us
remain
upon the
and die upon
the and save us from shirk
all types of shirk.
May Allah keep us remain steadfast on this
beautiful deen
until we meet Allah and find him pleased
with all of us.
Amen.
May Allah
forgive us all the faults and mistakes
and ignorance.
And may Allah
guide our to the haqq,
and unite our hearts in the haqq.
And may Allah bless us
with the beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
And may Allah
my dear brothers and sisters
bless you,
bless your family,
reward you
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Apologies from
the host. He's trying to get back in
time.
He seems to have been held up.
Question and answer session for those. There's a
couple of new newcomers to the class.
You can send me the the question or
you can raise your hand and speak on
the mic
with your permission, Sheikh Salom.
Okay. Go ahead.
Okay.
Is it permissible
to use
toilet paper
to clean up urine traces,
and is it sufficient
to wipe with the toilet paper
in odd numbers?
So it's 2 questions, really.
Okay.
The,
Allah
praised the Sahaba,
in Masjid Quba.
He praised them.
So say because
Allah said
that Allah
Allah loves those
who repent,
okay,
and always keep themselves in state of, state
of purity. So Zayn Ali,
he said,
what is unique? What is the unique thing
that you do that Allah singled you out
and,
praise you?
So they told him,
after answering the call of nature, we would
remove
the impurity
with stones.
And then after that, we would wash
with water.
K.
So because
the solid object
will not remove
the impurity totally.
Some particles will remain.
So that's why
after wiping
the the
impurity,
the
stool,
and cleaning the
the discharge,
you use water.
Because the water will
reach the places that still there are some
remnants or particles of the waste, the excommun.
So, yes, we you use the toilet paper.
Then after that, use the water.
Now
in some
democratic countries
where they claim freedom,
they are chasing the Muslims.
Imagine
if they use water in the toilet.
Imagine.
Don't use water.
It's none of your business.
Even you want to interfere
when I answer the call of nature,
Even that, there is no freedom?
Hello? Hello?
Even that?
Because
they hate Muslims,
and they don't know what to do.
And Islam is spreading.
Their children are becoming Muslims. People are becoming
Muslims.
They don't know how to react.
This is so disgusting
that you tell a person,
don't use water when you answer the call
of nature?
What's wrong with you? Again,
it's healthy.
We clean. We Muslims,
we clean ourselves.
We don't keep dirt.
You have nice suit and
oh, come on. And you know what is
remaining there.
And then
you point fingers towards Muslims,
don't use water.
Muslims will continue to use water.
Are you going to fix cameras in the
toilets?
Are you going to check
at the entrance of the
restrooms?
Do you have water?
Do you have drugs? Are you smuggling water?
And you there are many ways
that you can take water inside, not necessarily
to be visible
in a bottle of water. There are many
ways.
And you can keep
it in your bag
and and clean yourself after answering the call
of nature.
K?
So water
after using the toilet papers,
and the one loves those
those who repent and those who keep themselves
clean.
I hope this is clear
to the questioner, and I think the this
question was posed because of what is going
on under a lot of stress. Next question,
please.
Shabbat was clear, Sheikh. The next question.
If someone gets thoughtful thoughts
and they dwell in them and don't ward
them off,
but they
don't believe in those Kufar thoughts,
then has that person committed Kufar?
Kufar thoughts, they cross his mind, you mean?
Yes. And he hasn't,
committed
them.
Does he fall into Kufr?
No. These are, satanic whispers.
Shaitan can,
put satanic thoughts into your mind,
and that's what the prophet
said.
K. So the prophet
he said,
shaitan will visit 1 of you,
come to 1 of you,
okay, puts in his mind or her mind
this question,
who created this? Who created this? Who created
this? And finally, he will ask you, who
created Allah?
The prophet
said,
when you reach that question,
say
and stop
entertaining such thoughts
immediately.
And then another narration read
The Sahaba, they had such thoughts,
and they came to the prophet
and said, oh,
some of us,
we find these
some
thoughts we cannot express.
It is better for one of us to
fall from the sky
rather than having such thought.
The prophet
realized
what they they meant. He said,
You have found that.
Satan
approached you
and trying to
put such satanic whispers and thoughts into your
minds.
How can we get to move?
That
is a sign of pure
faith, pure iman. What is it?
What is it
What he meant by it is salih al
iman,
the pure iman,
to entertain sassos?
To us who created God? No. No. No.
What is salih al iman, what is considered
to be the pure faith, pure iman,
is to reject such
thought.
So the Sahaba, they rejected
such
satanic
and devilish ideas
and thoughts. So the prophet
praised Allah,
and he said, alhamdulillah,
that made the Satan resort only to whispering.
So to reject such thoughts so if you
come and find some satanic thoughts and
ideas, just
seek Allah's protection.
Say, Ahmedu Billah, the prophet
recommended, and read Surat al Ikhlas.
And then
educate yourself.
Learn your Islam.
Because Islam, shaitan has only 2 ways
to mislead us.
2 techniques.
2 ways of accessing our hearts.
One way through the doubts
doubts.
Another way is, desires,
lust.
That's
it. How can we lock these 2 openings,
these 2 windows, these 2 doors?
We can lock them by the following.
We can lock the door of the by
knowledge, learning our.
So when you have the knowledge and you
have the ill,
shaitan
will leave you.
Shaitan works on the ignorant.
The other gate, the other window,
desires.
Lust. Love *. Love money. Love love love
all desires.
How can you lock this door?
By the piety,
righteousness,
taqwa,
love of Allah, fear of Allah. This how
you can
be safe from the shaitan.
Otherwise,
our shaitan will
try to look.
Where is the weak link weak link? He
looks for the weak link.
Oh, I cannot come through doubts. He has
knowledge and he has
what is his weakness?
Desire.
Let me destroy him.
K?
Let me
take him through that. That is his the
weak link. I will attack him there
because
he follows his lust and desire.
So that's what the shaitan does. So we
need to be careful.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
May Allah save us from the tricks of
the curse one. Amen.
Amen.
If not, they can ask again the next
question.
What is the ruling on entering the masjid
during period?
Can I enter the masjid in order to
leave my children for learning the Quran?
Please advise.
You
keep them there at the door and then
leave, or you sit in the masjid?
Entering to leave the children.
If it's only if it's only that you
take them there, you drop the children then
leave,
that is okay.
But to stay in the masjid, no. You
don't stay
when you have your own period.
Next.
The next question, how should a righteous wise
behave?
Behave towards?
Or
in
general?
I think in general, they didn't specify.
A pious
wife and a pious Muslim
always behave
modestly,
behave
in the way that pleases Allah
They
exhibit
exhibit
and show
the best example.
They dress modestly.
They
when they talk, they talk
nicely.
They avoid,
vulgar speeches.
They control
their temper.
K.
When they say talk, they say something good
or they keep quiet.
So this is what every Muslim or Muslim
should do
and should behave in that way.
He who believes in Allah and the last
day should say something good or keep quiet.
He should not
talk to
the opposite * if there is no need.
And if there is a need, she has
to talk decently
while,
lowering her voice,
lowering her gaze,
not softening her voice.
Be official.
That's how if you are working in in
a place.
K. So you should be
an ambassador of Islam.
So when people see
your behavior, your your kind, you are
modest, you are so polite, and
they would respect you. See, this is
see the the how Muslim women behave.
So this is the behavior of a Muslim,
man or a woman.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
And, that was our final question
for tonight's session.
With
regards to the timing of the classes,
is it good we stick with, 5:30
according to UK time,
which is the same time as usual in
UAE?
So not in 30.
Like today, you mean? Like today.
I mean, what is more convenient for the
brothers and sisters
overseas?
I believe 5:30 is okay, Sheikh.
I 9:30 AM, UAE time.
Okay. Fine.
I have no problem.
I am
flexible.
Okay. Brothers and sisters, so we will stick
with, 5:30 PM UK time.
From wherever you are joining, whichever country, please
go according to the UK time,
which is 5:30
PM. For those who are not aware, there
has been a time change in UK.
Please check on Google or whatever source you
have to see what time is it in
UK.
According to that, 5:30 PM,
the class will be running.
Sheikh, if you would like to conclude.
May Allah bless you, bless your efforts, and
may Allah
bless you all and bless your family and
protect you all. And may Allah
elevate your status
in this world and
the and may Allah
keep us to remain steadfast
on this beautiful deen,
the deen of Al Islam.
May Allah make us die as Muslims.
May Allah guide our to the heart. May
Allah unite our hearts
on the heart.
Until we
meet again, Inshallah, in the coming session, I
leave you in our company
and protection.
