How are you?
We are ready
I'm ready
Okay. Let us begin.
Brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum.
Insha'Allah, this is our lesson number 36
with our honorable Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh can begin
sisters
in Islam, today is our weekly class.
The virtues of Islam,
a white Islam.
And we are talking about the.
The methodology
of the the
methodology of the the
the way of the
through which they understood
the revelation, the
and the sunnah.
So
one
characteristics
of their methodology
is that
they negate and reject
the claim
that
there is a contradiction
between
the
apple and the knuckle, between reason,
intellect, and revelation.
So such a claim,
they do not accept
because in reality,
it doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist. You will never find
a real
contradiction
between the apple and the apple,
between
the
authentic
narration,
authentic text,
and sound mind.
That will never happen.
And this is
the beauty of Islam
because
the had
been
maintained
in its pristine
form
as came down from Allah.
So
the deen
is revelation,
And the one who talks
in the
Quran is Allah.
So
for sure,
he is the creator.
So
who created everything,
including the intellect and the reason itself, the
mind.
So he talks about all these things. So
naturally,
logically, there will never there shouldn't be and
there will never be any contradiction.
And this is the case.
And this is the case.
So the claim
that the
this text contradicts the intellect of this
goes against the mind or the reason reasoning,
it is just a claim.
When you study it,
analyze it, you find it is false.
However,
for the sake of argument,
if there is really
an apparent contradiction
or real contradiction
between
text
and the reason,
then here, one of the 2
is wrong.
It's either the text is not authentic
or
the mind is not sound
the way you think.
So if the text is authentic, the problem
is with the intellect,
with the apple itself.
So you need to revisit your way of
thinking
and see
your premises,
which you stimulate, which you put forward
to
draw conclusion,
and you'll find
the problem there lies there.
But if the
reason, the intellect, the is sound, and the
text
is authentic,
they go hand in hand.
Yes. People, they vary in their intellectual
capacity and power.
K.
Maybe it's difficult for some ex person
to
comprehend and grasp
the text and see the wisdom,
that's not difficult for somebody else, for another
one.
Because our mental capacities,
they vary.
K? So that's why
you will never find in Islam
a text
that goes against the reason
or intellect,
but find text
that will confuse the intellect
and perplex the intellect.
Why? So that the intellect will know
its limit.
There are certain things
the intellect cannot comprehend,
like the issues of the unseen.
The apple cannot
visualize that,
cannot understand that.
Yes. The apple will accept
the possibility. Yes.
It is
possible.
It's it's rationally acceptable.
But
when the apple or the intellect tries to
visualize
and try to
know the nature and the true nature and
the reality,
Babel fails
because it is beyond it's outside its domain.
It's outside
its
area
of
specialty,
the area of,
comprehension.
This is something beyond that.
K. So you'll find.
That's why
said
This is deep way of thinking.
He said, has been left towards the reason
for the intellect,
then wiping the socks
should be
from the bottom.
You wipe the sole,
not the other part of the sock,
the,
the shoe
or the hoof,
the leather socks.
But the the
sunnah says
that you wipe on top, not the bottom.
Though what touches the earth and the dirt
is the bottom, the soul,
not the upper part of it.
So it is not left for us to
reason
because here,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, so his father told
us to wipe the upper part, not the
the
the lower part or the soul of the
leather shops
because that
always will
touch the dirt.
But
the also
Allah said to him that
if you step over impurity
okay.
And that will touch the
lower
part. Then
you will also walk on clean
earth
that will remove the impurity,
and that will make your
leather socks
pure.
That's why the
and the shoes the same way because it
is also
permissible to play in your shoes
if you are in the open, not in
the masjid.
Yes. At the time of the
even beside the masjid because the masjid of
the
was furnished with,
with sand,
not carpets.
And one day, the prophet
he started the salah, then he removed his
shoes.
And the Sahaba removed the the shoes in
the salah.
So after the salah, he asked him, why
did you remove your shoes? He said, we
saw you. He said, no. Because Gabriel came
and informed me that there is impurity.
That's why I removed that my shoes. So
when you come to the Masjid, he said,
have a look. See the sole, the bottom,
the lower part of the shoes. If there
is anything,
stop it against the earth, and it will
come to you.
So says no idea of the saying,
if you,
had this been left for reasoning of the
apple,
then
why being the bottom
would be
okay what the apple will,
will think?
But Allah
said no. Just why the the upper part,
The bottom will become
clean and pure and will be purified
while you are walking.
Okay. Now so so the the Sahaba and
the way of our forefathers,
the salah, that they they say that they
will never be.
There will never be
any contradiction
between authentic narration
and sound mind.
K?
So if there is you think there is
a contradiction
and it is real contradiction,
then either the
the narration,
the text is not authentic. For example,
you come across a fabricated
hadith.
K?
It is a lie, fabricated.
So
your will not accept that.
K? Especially
many of these fabricated
hadith,
they
mention many, many, many things, especially for example,
the hadith of the Mirai, the very long
hadith
of Ibn Abbas
and what the prophet saw on that night.
It is fabricated.
And you see things that
they don't make sense.
So either it is the the the
the text is not authentic
or the sound the mind is not sound.
Something wrong with
the mind of this person who's saying that,
oh, there's contradiction here.
Reality, there will not be any contradiction.
Simply because the text is authentic,
Allah talks,
and Allah is the one who created the,
so
there's no
problem.
But here, what
is? What is this mind or reason or
intellect or fidget?
The ulama, they say it is this divine
gift
from Allah
because it is
mysterious. It is we don't
know exactly
what is
it, the its nature.
And where is the apple?
Is it in the mind? Is it in
the heart?
Apple is not the brain.
The mad person has brain, but he doesn't
have Haakon.
But it is this gifted. It's this
ability
and this faculty
which enables
us
to distinguish
between right and wrong.
You know?
Uh-oh. Say,
this is wrong. It cannot be accepted
because Allah embedded in us
these values,
the right and the wrong. These things we
are embedded in human beings.
So they say the apple
is this
faculty
which enable you.
And the beauty of the Arabic language that
is derived from the root,
which means to withhold back
to hold back,
to refrain, to make you to refrain you
from doing something.
That's the the meaning of the root of
the word.
So that's why the
they say
when you tie
the two hands of the camel together.
Okay?
So that it will not,
move.
And this what you see called
because an Arab
okay? This is the story behind it.
We'd always
have this one with him
because he will be looking for his camel.
So the moment he finds his camel, he
will tie his camel with it,
the two hands of the camel.
So the apple
is this ability, this faculty
that will make you
hold back,
refrain
from going further.
And it is
a gift from Allah
that Allah has given it to the human
being
and make the human being,
unique being. That's why when they define the
legit the logicians,
the logicians,
when they define man, the insan, they say,
which means
a thinking of rational being
and rational
being.
Because a human being
rationalized
and thinks.
And that's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he bound
and linked
all
the obligations
with the soundness of the mind.
If the mind
something happened to it, to the apple,
then this commitment
to do the
prescribed and imposed
obligations
are canceled.
You will not be held accountable
because your apple
your mind is not functioning.
K. That's why they say,
So the existence of this
wonderful
tool
and faculty
is a condition
is a condition.
Its healthiness is a condition
for executing
and carrying out
the obligations.
Something happened to it,
you are exempted.
You will not be held accountable.
That's why if a person in state of
coma,
okay,
is not obligated to pray.
Because he is a state of calm.
Someone lost his sanity,
So he's not obligated
to
carry out
the
rituals or
the acts of worship
because he lost his mind. He's insane.
A
child
will not be held accountable.
Depend,
as you know, on the hadith.
So the the pen will not fight
against 3.
K?
A boy,
human being,
boy or girl,
can he or she reaches the age of
puberty?
A person who's asleep,
the pen will not fight against him what
he says
and what he does in his sleep.
Because when you're out of sleep,
you are like a a mad person.
You don't know. That's why
you will do funny things in our sleeps.
Imagine these funny things you do in your
sleep,
you will be held accountable for that. You
will be then
doomed. You will be ruined.
So Allah, out of his mercy,
he's saying,
the,
the young boy until he,
reaches the age of puberty
and the sign, of course,
of the age of puberty for the boy
is when you when he starts
having
wet dreams.
And this
varies from country to country.
If some country, maybe the the male
will reach the age of puberty,
at 11, 10,
9,
12,
but the average
is 15.
Normally, the average is 15 years.
For the girls,
when the girl gets her period,
and girls
can get the period at 9
years or 10 or 11.
That is from one place to another.
And once the the girl gets her period,
that means she is biologically
a woman.
Physiologically,
she's a woman, and biologically, she's a woman.
And now the pen was.
And, well, and
the one who lost his sanity until he
gets back his sanity.
So if a insane person, mad person
did something,
he's not accountable.
He killed someone.
He's not accountable,
But his family are accountable
because they should have controlled him,
and they should have kept him under control.
So the family will be held accountable,
and they will have to give
the the blood money.
So in Islam,
but the apple
is something precious.
Appreciate it.
And its
presence is very important. Its soundness is a
con is a condition
for
the acceptance of the deeds
that once one
performs and executes.
Now
having said this,
the apple also
has its own limitations.
The mind of a child is not like
the mind of an adult.
So the mind
grows.
And when you reach the age of
15, now
starts to function,
and it reaches its perfection
at the age of 40.
And that's why Allah
when
the
prophet
reached the age
of 40,
he received the
because now the mental faculty, the is
perfect.
So the
goes through phases,
and the apple learns
from its mistakes.
Yes. The apple can make mistake,
but then it learns
from these errors and these mistakes.
It can be deceived.
Okay?
For example,
if you don't know about the reflection of
light,
k,
And you see the spoon in the in
the in the glass.
You see it's broken,
and you think it is broken,
but then you learn.
If you want to catch a fish, you
see it here,
the apparent position,
when the real position is there.
So you can be deceived. Your eyes can
be deceived, and the message can be
which will be giving to the mind is
a wrong message, and the the mind will
interpret
it
wrongly.
So the apple
learns.
The first time you saw the Mirage,
you thought it was water,
but then immediately you realized that it's not
water.
So the second time you see the Mirage,
you will not say it is water. Never.
Of your child who's next to you sitting,
daddy, daddy, there is water. Say, no. No.
No, son. It's not water.
That's called mirage,
the mirage of phantom.
So that's why we have to
because here, people,
there are 2 extremes
regarding the apple.
Some, they elevated
the apple
to such a
status as if the apple is everything, and
the apple will,
will never make a a a mistake, and
the apple will not rely on it totally.
So idolizing
the apple
or deifying
the apple
as if it is
a deity to worship.
No. Apple is a tool.
It's a gift,
faculty, given to us.
We have to use it within
its limitations.
So we should neither idealize it,
erase
it,
and
count on it, everything.
Don't you see the
arguments and differences
between
the thinkers and philosophers
and the
scientists because
there are different minds
and different ways of thinking.
So we use it within that
limitation
with within its limitation.
And the apple works only within the physical
world,
tangible material world. That's what the apple can
function and work.
Anything beyond
the
material world metaphysical issues,
that is not the
the task of the.
Okay. So this point,
the
salaf,
they negate. They say, hey.
There's
no contradiction
between
authentic text. You'll never find any contradiction between
an authentic text
and the apple
reason.
So they go hand in hand.
So the apple should try to understand the
text
to understand
the text.
And that's why,
Muslims, Allah
bless us with this
deen
where everything
makes sense.
I have no problem.
Have no problem
with
using
our,
mental faculty,
the how to how to use it
within its
scope of work.
We don't push it into an area
beyond,
its capacity.
That's something beyond
the functionality
of the apple,
which is the right.
It comes to right,
the apple holds back. And this is the
meaning of apple. If you have apple, it
holds you back.
You say, no. This is unseen.
I cannot I don't know anything about it.
So I hold myself. And this was the
deviant check whether
the Yamaites,
Jamia, or the Marth Israelites, Marth Israelites in
particular.
When they started idealizing
the apple, everything is the apple. The apple
says this. The apple says that.
And then
they try to use their minds,
okay,
to
rationalize
and to
apply
the rational rules of the human beings
to
the issues related to the insane,
like Allah,
like his attributes.
Allah is unseen.
So how can you apply your logic or
your
rationale regarding
something you don't know anything about?
It's ridiculous.
Because this is something beyond your
mental capacity.
So you need to
respect yourself, respect your mind.
That's where they went wrong.
Allah's
describing himself. Allah is telling us about himself,
and they say, no. No. No. No. No.
It doesn't mean this.
Do you know Allah better than himself?
He tells you I am this,
and there is nothing like me.
So you have to understand
my qualities,
my attributes
in a way suits my perfection,
majesty,
glory.
So when I tell you I see, don't
think that I see like you. I need
light. I need.
I need this.
I see.
Don't ask how because you you didn't see
me,
but I tell you that I see you.
He told
Musa
and Harun.
He told them go to the pharaoh
and talk to him
softly.
And when they say
Musa said, my lord,
I am afraid. I fear that he might
do something, behave foolishly towards us.
He assured them, Allah said to them,
I
am with you.
I am with you, Musa, O Moses and
Aaron.
And then I hear,
and they see.
So I hear what
what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's
what's on says, and I
hear, and I see what's on,
does.
I see that.
So don't worry.
So you have to accept.
Allah sees. Allah hears. Don't ask how,
and don't think that he sees the way
you see or he hears,
like the way you hear.
Because There's
nothing like unto him, and he's all hearer.
So this is the beauty, and this is
the way
of the,
of the salaf. And this is
the deen
that
was taught
to the companions of the and this how
they understood it.
So if we use our apple in the
proper way,
we'll be fine. The Sahaba, they were rational
people.
They used their minds
in understanding
the text,
and that's why
there is something called
the hikmah.
The text
every text, there is hikmah
behind
it. Wisdom.
Because it comes from Al Hakim, the all
white.
But sometimes, the hikmah is known to us.
We have found out, discovered it, and sometimes,
no. Not yet.
K.
And sometimes,
the jikma,
the wisdom, is
just
a test for us.
Allah is testing us to see whether we
obey or not.
So the ulema they say, it
is
purely an act of worship.
Allah test us.
Why?
Why not 5? What etcetera.
Allah decided this how he should
play.
But some
text Allah
and some
obligations,
Allah
made the
allowed us to understand the hikmah.
For example,
the hamal, why Allah prohibited alcohol because it's
intoxicate.
It makes this apple disappear.
The paternal apple, it kills the hamam.
The liquor kills the
the apple.
That's why the person who's,
drunk,
he doesn't know,
or later on, what he did.
That's why this, they say someone was,
drunk, and he pronounced,
his wife. That's a lot. It's not valid.
Or someone
was mad,
and he
divorced his wife. It's not valid.
Though some of the,
they say if he is divorced his wife
while he was drunk,
okay, as a way of
to discipline him,
we will make that ballot
so to stop him from drinking alcohol.
Sheikh bin
He has, one volume,
on talaq,
and he mentioned
the level of anger.
Three levels of anger.
It's a because normally a person divorces his
wife when he is angry, not while he
is sipping tea with his wife and chatting.
No. So he said the first level of
anger like madness,
exactly like madness.
Some people, when they get angry, they go
mad.
They don't know what they are saying.
So he said if a person pronounce the
salaab and utter the salaab
while he's in such
condition, that salaab is invalid
because he was not able to control himself.
Because some people, when they get angry, they
are shivering,
and they become
different
persons.
2nd level, he said,
And that's why the first level, if you
tell him you divorce your wife, you say,
come on.
He cannot recall.
2nd level,
he was he was very angry.
Okay. And he recalls that he said.
He pronounced,
but he was not in a position to
control himself.
So he said the Sheikh, it is invalid.
3rd
level of anger, he said. He's angry that
he could control himself, and he recalled
that he divorced his wife. In this case,
the is
valid.
Now
the
in Islam, my dear brothers and sisters,
you use this gift, the apple,
to understand the text.
So
don't think that the the Sahara, they were
naive,
or there were a need
to study
the Greek logic.
They were thinking logically
naturally
naturally.
Don't you see the Bedouin the Bedouin
when he was asked, how did you know
your creator? He said,
Very simple.
They're saying,
If you see a dropping
of an animal,
there must be an animal
passed here.
Otherwise,
there will not be a job in here.
As of lockdown,
the trace of footprints, they tell you people
they passed here.
So now on there to apply a sky
full of constellations
and the land that has many passages and
ways,
all these are not sufficient signs
to tell you
about the almighty, the all wise.
This simple man, Bedouin,
use his mind,
use what they call cause and effect.
There's effects that must be cause very simple.
So this how about there were not a
need
to know what
Aristotle say or Plato
or Socrates.
Now let us see what
how
Allah talks in the Quran
and see
the Quranic verses
and see how Allah invites us
to use this gray matter
in the proper channel.
Aya
82.
Quran.
Do they not then reflect on the Quran?
Had it been from anyone other than Allah,
they would have certainly found in it many
discreet benches.
So here, I said the Quran of Quran.
Why don't they ponder or reflect? How do
you what do you
when you ponder or reflect, what do you
do? You are using your mind.
You are using your apple
to understand
and to think
and say,
why did Allah say this? Why did it
Allah say this?
What is the wisdom? What's the hikmah?
This is the the the way the right
the reading of Tadavu,
the reading of reflection,
pondering.
You dive deep
into the text.
In this way, you enjoy,
and you discover, and the the gems are
cut they will come out.
So Allah is inviting us to use this
mind.
Not if you read it in the parrot
fashion.
What a kind of Miranda Vayelah this is.
Okay.
The reason
why it is from Allah.
Because Allah say,
This is,
okay, rational argument.
Had this been from other than Allah,
had this Quran been the work of Muhammad
or
the work of any human being or the
devil, etcetera, as the enemies of Islam claim.
Because the enemy because the Quran
to them is
there's something
they don't know what to say about it.
The enemies of Islam.
Sometimes they say Mohammed made it up.
Mohammed was illiterate,
was not reading al Aqsa, was not able
to read al Aqsa, al Aqsa.
And this was known to his people.
Had they known him,
that he was literate,
that he was able to read a lot,
they say, okay. You
you copied it from somewhere. But they know
him,
and they know him. He didn't go to
any teacher. They know that.
You have to keep in mind that they
were looking for any excuse, but they didn't
find.
And this the Quran was the work of
one human being,
and the rest
failed.
This in itself is a miracle.
How come a human being, one human being,
managed to produce such a book
and challenge all the human being, not only
all human beings, and again as well, and
they failed.
Doesn't make sense.
Or the the
shaytan
gestated it to him.
What shaytan is this? Stupid shaytan.
Because the Quran warns us against the shaytan.
So the shaytan warned us against himself,
and he told us how
to know his tricks and how to avoid
falling into his traps. What type of shaytan
is this?
And always when you read the Quran, you
seek
Allah's protection from the cursed one. So the
Khazan tells you that,
so they don't know what to do with
the Quran.
So all these lies,
they're concocted.
They crumble. They fall apart
Because the Quran
is
the speech of Allah.
So Allah is saying,
k.
Assume that it's from
Allah.
Had it been from Allah,
they would have found in it the Quran
many discrepancies.
In other words,
if you find discrepancies,
if you find contradictions, then it is not
from Allah.
Very simple.
Very simple.
You want to prove the Quran.
In other words of god,
yes. Find discrepancies.
Finish.
Find contradictions.
This is the challenge.
No human being
will
go through this challenge.
No human being when he writes a book
will say to the readers,
I challenge all of you. Go
to find any contradiction,
any
discrepancy
in within this book.
No one.
But the Quran, because it's the word of
Allah. Allah says go.
Go.
It is the only book that challenges
challenges
its reader. Only book.
So Allah's saying
The problem with us, my dear brothers and
sisters, when we read the Quran, we do
not reflect.
See
how Allah is inviting you.
So
he said, go.
Has it been from other than Allah? Then
naturally, if it was from other than Allah,
then it will have
many discrepancies.
The word you do
You'll find many discrepancy
because this is the nature of any human
being,
any work of any human being.
You don't recall what you said in the
beginning of in chapter 1 when you are
in chapter 2.
You might say something,
contradicts what you said in chapter 1.
And that's why you have to go and
revise
first manuscript,
second manuscript.
Keep revising
before printing it
and giving it to your
friends to read,
and they will pinpoint, oh, you said this,
and
you correct.
And then you print the book,
and you write in the in the preface.
You put your address, and you say, I'll
be grateful
for,
anyone to
if you find any mistakes in this book
or
correction, please
mention it. And this is my email. This
is my
and then the second
edition
oh, new edition
with the corrections.
3rd edition.
And you see, the author will say, oh,
I revised it, and I removed this. I
added this.
This is the nature of the work of
any human being.
Quran is not like that. Quran
is free.
Free from any
That's why Imam Shafi'i said,
I'm going to write books,
and they will contain mistakes,
and they will have discrepancies
and errors.
And this shows the intelligence
and the smartness
of Imam Shafi'i
because he knows he's a human being.
And he said,
because this is not the book of Allah.
It's only the book of Allah that will
be free
from having any discrepancies.
But this is the work of a human
being,
so it will have discrepancies.
Allah says in Surat Al Baqarah,
I 164.
Again,
inviting us
to use the intellect, the within
its limitation.
We use it the proper way of
you,
usage and usage.
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and
the earth,
the alternation,
the chain,
the alternation
of the day and the night,
the ships that sail
the sea
of the benefit of humanity,
the rain
sent down by Allah from the skies,
reviving the earth after its death,
the scattering of all kinds of creatures
throughout,
the shifting of the winds,
and the clouds drifting between the heavens and
the earth.
And all of this are surely science
for people of understanding,
people who have
apple,
People who reflects. People who ponder.
Let us
ponder here.
This is how the Quran.
And that's what the Sahaba understood.
When you read the tafsir of
of. Amazing.
And,
yeah,
because
the mice were rich with
the
sound
minds
and correct and authentic
text.
Perfect.
Today, some people, Allah has given them,
I mean,
strong
and ability
and
rational
ability,
but they don't know
the text.
They lack
they lack,
the
religious knowledge.
They didn't study the deal.
It has BHDA logic,
but you don't know the deal.
So
use that as a tool and start studying
your Islam,
and you'll see the compatibility.
Okay.
So Allah is saying, indeed,
verily, most certainly,
in the creation of the heavens
and the earth.
So
in the creations of heavens and the earth
and the alternation,
Allah alters the day and the night.
One takes the place of the other,
and they are following each other successively.
Nice flows and
the day retreats.
The night falls,
the day
the trees
and move somewhere else.
One flip. So this is this the Allah
is saying, these are signs.
These are signs.
You need to
think
why
there is day
and night. What causes the day and night?
What causes this alteration?
Islam invites you to do that,
to study the movement of the sun and
the movement of the moon.
Islam invites you. Islam tells you these are
signs.
Don't study.
Well,
Islam invites us to reflect
and see the ships.
How? These gigantic
vessels,
they float on the water.
They don't sink.
And the nail nail, if I drop it,
it will sink, and the whole vessel is
floating.
Allah wants us to study
the law behind that,
the law of buoyancy.
K?
He wants us to to know and reflect.
So he's telling us about the ship. Don't
you see the ship? It's floating
on the
sea?
The ships that
cruise
the sea,
and they are floated,
carried by
the waves of the ocean.
And these vessels
are loaded
with goods
for you
benefit for you.
These ships are cruising,
taking
the goods from one place to another place
for the benefit of humanity.
Think about it.
Who holds this ship?
Who makes this
ship to float?
I know a brother who's a captain.
He said,
you don't know the sea when it is
rough.
All these
massive ships,
they become nothing
like a straw,
and it's just so you can see. Go
on the YouTube
and see
that this big ship is nothing.
It's nothing.
Nothing.
Another
invitation
to reflect and to think.
This is another sign
that the Quran invites you to reflect upon.
The rain sent down by Allah from the
skies.
The Ayyab
al gave life to the earth.
The earth is dry.
The rain falls.
It is revived.
It becomes green.
Vegetation
grow.
Reviving the earth after its death.
The earth was
arid,
dry.
It is dead,
but the rain
brings life into the earth.
So the rain that falls from the sky
gives life to the earth,
after its death.
And then another
way, invitation
to reflect upon.
I was scattered
in this
Once I saw the documentary
show showing
the sandstorm
in the Sahara Desert
and the impact of that
storm in the Sahara Desert
on the forest in the Mississippi.
The winds, they carry the pollen
from one place to another,
And then they fall on the earth
waiting for the rain.
Rain falls, falling are there,
the plan they fall.
In the earth.
Means anything that moves, that's close.
Now
imagine,
how many things move?
Animals,
reptiles,
birds,
ants,
incense, different
kingdoms
of living things.
Scattered in this earth.
From every type
of crawling creatures,
all kinds of creatures
So out to the
earth. So Allah's telling us, don't you see
these signs?
See this kingdom of the animals?
Kingdom of the plant?
So that's why
the Muslim scientists, where there is
a studying the plants or the
animals,
he sees Allah's signs.
He sees Allah's signs.
How Allah
gave every
animal a mechanism to defend itself.
If you watch the National Biography
documentary films, you'll see
in that this
little creature
has
defensive
mechanism to defend itself.
This little creature has been given the ability
to camouflage
to change its color,
to conform with the environment
so it will not be spotted.
Who gave these things?
Another sign.
The shifting
of the winds.
It's just blowing from this way,
blowing from that way,
from this way.
Who is changing the cause of the wind?
And in the past,
the people they studied,
today, people they don't know.
In the past,
people, they sailed.
They charted the oceans. Muslims.
Muslims.
Don't you know
That Magillan
of Fafco de Gama, one of the 2,
he came
here to my country,
and he sought
the help and the advice
of Ibn Majid,
Ahmad ibn Majid.
They call him this lion of the seas,
and he showed him the the maths
and the roots.
Muslims, they
reach
America
before Columbus.
Columbus
did not discover America. It was discovered in
America.
So the Muslims, they studied
the winds and how they blow and the
different names of the wind,
different courses of the wind.
And accordingly,
if they are want to travel from this
place to this place, they wait until the
wind starts blowing.
Because they followed what Allah told them,
that these are gifts and signs, and they
utilize
the power of the wind and the energy
of the wind.
K?
See, Islam reached the far east.
Okay?
Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, all the east, India
through Muslim traders,
merchants,
especially
people from the southern part of Arabia, from
Yemen, from Havel Amau in particular
who traveled by the ships,
and they took the Dawah and the swab
there.
So Allah is saying,
the shifting of the winds and the clouds
drifting between the heavens and the earth.
The clouds,
they pass over your head,
carried by the winds,
moving from one place to another place.
Because there is an angel who is in
charge of that,
all these things
he said.
In all of this,
there are signs.
Not for the idiots.
Not for the ones who do not use
their minds. Not
For people of understanding.
People who will utilize
their intellect,
people who will
marry the intellect
and the
revelation
and the
knuckle
together,
and they make the apple and the knuckle
work in unison
and together.
One
hand.
So this is our,
and this is what our forefather
understood.
May Allah
increase our knowledge and the deed.
May Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge
and darkest deeds.
May
Allah forgive us all faults
and mistakes and ignorance.
May Allah
unite
our.
And may Allah reward all of you,
dear brothers and sisters,
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we will stop the question
and answers time now.
We've received a few questions already. We'll begin
with those.
However, please send them in fast if you
like them to be,
answered in this session.
The first question.
What is Islamically
permissible to tell a child about puberty?
Good question.
Very good question.
And
before I answer it, I will tell you
a story.
See,
the problem with many of us,
we mix the deal with culture,
And then we start to think the culture
is part of the deal
when it is not.
It's just what
the people thought, and most of the time,
these are erroneous
thoughts
and ideas.
For example, first of all, many people, they
have wrong
misunderstanding
about the concept
of Haya
even today,
and maybe some practicing Muslim.
The concept of Haya,
modesty,
shyness,
passion, all
these things.
They don't understand it.
So who is the most
individual or person
who has higher?
The.
He's our role model.
He is our role model,
and he told us everything.
He told us everything
And what do we need to know?
Women, they used to come to him and
ask him.
Umusulayim
came
to the prophet
said, oh, prophet
Allah is not doesn't too shy of telling
the truth.
A woman sees
in the in the dream
that she is
having intimacy with her partner.
Should she take a shower?
I think
or one
of the wives of the prophet, she said,
you exposed
us.
You
exposed the women.
I was asking such a question.
Something like that.
Woe to you? The prophet said, no. Woe
to you.
Yes,
If she sees the discharge.
So so woman had a *,
and she got up in the morning.
So if you see the the discharge,
she has to take a shower.
She has to take a shower.
And he if he sees the liquid,
If he
sees if he sees the liquid.
A man came to the prophet
and
said, oh, prophet of Allah.
And this is in the early
in the early days of the dawah. If
a man sleeps with his wife
and then he failed to *,
in the early days of the, this ruling
is obligated.
No need for him to take a shower,
just to take.
But this this ruling was obligated.
But the said either
when
the 2 private parts touch each other,
penetration happen.
The shower is mandatory
whether he * or not. That's what the
prophet
said.
And when this man asked this question, the
prophet said, it happens to me.
See, the life of the prophet
is open book.
There's nothing hidden.
Each one of us has
certain
area
that no one knows about it, secret,
except the life of the prophet.
He said, it happens with me with this
one,
I think Aisha,
and he points it.
So
if this happens to you and you fail
to *,
you need to take a shower.
When you read in the sunnah of the
prophet, you
see
details
the details,
things happening in the bedroom
later
on, between the and his wife.
Now coming to the question, I know a
brother.
That's why I said I will tell you
a story. A brother.
He passed away
recently,
His son is half of the Quran,
and he leads the people in the fayr
prayer.
So the mother noticed
that the voice of the boy now became
it's not childish. It's mannish now. Manly.
It's like a man.
And this is one of the signs that
the boy now became
a man.
She said to the father, talk to him.
Talk to him.
Explain to him
that he was going to become I think
he
reached the age of puberty.
K? I cannot talk to him, but you
are his father.
Talk to him
and explain to him that he has to
take a shower and all these
things.
So the father felt shy, and he didn't
know what to do. And then
he sat with his son, and he said
you know?
And he was,
feeling shy. K? Embarrassed.
What's embarrassment?
We have to teach our children.
And he said, you know, son, when the
boy grows and then he would reach this
phase, and then he would see things. Said,
yes, baba.
Long time ago, I started seeing these things
when I get up in the morning.
My underwear is wet.
And,
that's it.
So he was leading the Jamah
in state of Janaba
because he was not taught.
The same thing mothers,
they have to teach their daughters.
Otherwise, they will get wrong information about it.
So you explain.
You explain to the boy,
either way, that you don't trigger his desire
the same way you talk to your daughter
and educate your daughter without
talking and using the language that will trigger
their desire
so they know
what to do
when they reach the age of puberty.
So the boy now starts seeing wet dreams
and say, okay. Now I have to
now I have to
behave myself because the pen will start to
lie,
and they have to take a shower, all
these things.
The same thing with the girl. Just that
didn't happen getting her period.
So she knows.
Now she cannot
pray, and now she,
cannot touch the Quran and things like that.
Is this clear to the questioner,
or I missed something?
It's clear, Otherwise, they can, send another message
back. We'll go to the next question.
The next question, assalamu alaikum. Who is a
Muaddith?
Why did Sheikh Al Albani have more influence
than the other?
Also, why do some sects
disregard
him?
Okay.
Who's the Muaddith? It's a scholar in Hadith.
Scholar in hadith.
A scholar who studied the hadith,
specialize in the hadith. So he's a specialist.
So he studied and mastered the science of
the hadith.
Hadith. So he knows
this narrator is reliable. This narrator is weak.
So it is a science of any.
So he's a specialist in that field.
Like Imam Ahmed, like Imam
Bukharin,
the scholars of Hadith.
Sheikh al Bani Allah
blessed him
and gave him this Allah put in his
heart the love for Hadith.
Though, you know, Sheikh al Bani he
was born in Albania.
K.
And then his father took the
him and his and the family to Damascus
because
there in Albania, they started with their rulers,
they were communist.
So he grew up in Damascus, and he
learned Arabic in Damascus.
His father was Hanafi scholar,
and he learned the Hanafi madcap.
And his father was
having in mind that he wanted him to
become
a scholar in the Hanafi.
But the Sheikh, he loved the
the hadith.
And he mentioned this many times that
his father told him that
the being a Muhaddith, you will not have,
income.
K? Because
scholars of hadith are very poor.
Read the history.
That's why
other,
of their brother, Muslim brothers, are well off
will spent on them.
Like, for example,
some of them, Muhammed,
they were rich like
a late of Nusrat.
But he they said
he had great wealth, but he never paid
the zakat because when the year comes,
the wealth is less than the Nusrat because
he spends
on the his brothers, the Muaddisim.
He has list
of his brothers.
So that's why Albany, he learned also
a skill
of how to fix
watches.
K. So he learned this
and mastered it,
and there are,
some photos of him in his shop in
Damascus
fixing
the the clocks and the watches,
an expert.
So he earns some.
He has income.
But most of the time,
his shop
and the books of hadith there. So he
will work for few hours,
then he closes.
And now he only focusing on the hadith.
He spent his lifetime
more than 50 years
between the manuscripts of hadith.
K.
He
would come early morning to the,
library in Damascus
called Al Maktab of Bahiriya,
ancient library full of manuscripts.
He would come before
the
the staff
and who would be waiting at the door,
and he would leave
the last one
just
studying the manuscripts.
So much so
that
the, management
decided to give him the key of the
the library of of Abu Dhabi. He said,
Sheikh Nasser, you can come anytime, and you
can leave anytime.
So a person who spent all his lifetime,
he knows
you know, reading manuscripts is not easy.
One day,
and this I heard it from our brother,
Sheikh Hassan Haway. He said, a manuscript was
shown to him.
Sheikh, whose handwriting is this?
Said, oh, Al Mirziy.
Subhanallah.
Subhanallah.
And he served the sunnah of the in
our time.
No one served it
like him.
He sorted out the Hadith,
All the books of the.
And they are printed.
And then he compiled and wrote a series
of authentic Ahadis.
Then another series,
many volumes
at the Hadith of,
a series on the fabricated
and the weak narrations.
Those who talk about him, if you go
to their
homes and see their libraries,
you'll see the books of Al Ghani there,
and they refer to his books.
If you
go to the
books
and the degrees,
PhDs
and master's degree,
You will see his name mentioned.
People then refer to his books to check
the authenticity of the hadith.
So he's an imam.
He's an imam
in his field
as a. Those who talk about him, out
of jealousy
because
Sheikh was tough on the people of Bida,
tough upon the,
those who the Pakistan.
Okay?
He's strict
following the delay.
Allah has given him
the,
the ability
to debate.
No one debates with him and won the
debate. No one. No one.
Finish.
He knows how
to squeeze you on between the court.
He is an expert in
when it comes to the
field of debating.
He debated with many people.
He debated with the,
those who
in the seventies,
there was a group
calling the community.
So
they arranged a meeting with and, and this
is there, a series on, cassette
tapes.
K.
Audio tapes.
Those days, the cassette.
You can see it there. Also, now they
put it on the net,
the debate, the series of the debate.
So he said, Sheikh
the first night
when he met them,
and now it is time for salah.
They didn't pray behind the Sheikh
because they consider Sheikh.
And the
debate went from
after, I I think,
The second night, the same,
but they played behind the Sheikh
because
he managed to convince them
and to remove the doubt.
3rd night, finish. They repented.
And many of them today
are dua and called
callers
to the man had given the salaf,
So
if you hear people, they talk about al
Bani because they don't know al Bani or
they have this Hasid
dynasty.
K? Or they are deviants, especially
the Soviets.
K?
They must tell you, oh, he's not Faki.
He's al Muhammed. They don't know what is
coming out of their heads.
If you read his books, you'll see
his and
understand.
And at the same time, he was humble
and soft hearted.
You
know, people, they when you hear him just
talking, they think, oh,
this must be
his heart is made of stone. No. It's
very soft.
Very soft.
A sister from Algeria called him
because he had
a dream vision,
She saw the,
and she saw Sheikh Albani
walking towards him alone
on the way.
She asked, who's this? They said, this is
Albani,
and the prophet is there
waiting for him. So when she told this
to the sheikh,
the sheikh on the phone cried. He couldn't
take
it. Couldn't take
elevate his and
may Allah reward him immensely
for all his efforts
in serving the deen. Ameen.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Amin, inshallah, it is clear, Sheikh. We'll go
to the next question.
One extreme is idolizing
the.
What are other extreme views?
They neglect it,
and they talk things that are nonsense.
K?
Nonsense.
And this is what you hear in the
and
many deviant *.
If you go.
Imam Shaver has said as
mentioned in
Telbiz. He said,
And Imam Shavir said this. If you go
with the Sufis 40 days,
you will lose your mind
because what you're going to hear
is
nonsense.
Nonsense.
They will tell you, oh, the fly. Our
Sheikh, he prays all the 5 prayers in
Makkah.
Oh, yes. Yes.
So the Sheikh doesn't pray in the masihid
in the locality.
All the prayers in Makkah.
See them in the issue when you see
how crazy they are.
They Allah guide them.
They believe that the prophet comes and visits
them
and call it, and they'll put an empty
chair for him
to sit.
I saw one of them
talking to the Muslims, and I think in
Indonesia,
talking about,
one of the saints in.
And he says,
one
of
the, he went to Medina to see the,
visit the.
Fatima met him at the entrance of Medina.
Fatima came from the grave
and met him.
And she said, where are you going? He
said, to see your father. He said, no.
No. No. My father now is in Hagar
HaMaut
visiting another saint there. That's what they talk.
So where tell me, do they have apple?
They don't have apple.
And many, many, many,
they say, they
believe in this.
They
say,
Your dancing circles,
these are they call it circles of dikr.
They are dancing
like the Christians. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Go and see them. You see them.
And they say, yes. The prophet comes to
us.
So the prophet can come to you, say
yes.
And you see him. Yes. We see him.
You know the definition of a Sahabi is
someone who saw
the
prophet really
and believes in him. So you are saying
that you see the prophet
in your,
alive.
So you are companions. You are Sahaba
of the Allahu Akkum.
If the prophet
comes to your dancing circles,
why didn't he come
and stop his wife, Aisha, from going to
Iraq
and stop the bloodshed between Sahaba?
Why didn't he come and tell
because Usman is next to him.
Why didn't he come and tell those around
Usman? Leave Usman. Usman is correct. Usman is
right.
All your dancing circles
more important
than saving
the bloodshed of the Sahara.
Because those people, they have no minds at
all.
The same thing others,
other deviant *.
When you hear
them in the YouTube, they have token.
Those are worse than the Qatar.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
We go to the next question.
Saying Amin to the dua of the sheikh
after a halakha, what are the proper manners
to observe?
What do you mean halakha?
Like
like the do we
say
I think,
Yeah. I think they mean that. Yes,
sir. Okay. If you say I mean,
Are you saying me?
Nothing more than that.
Don't wipe your,
face with your hands.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh. What
does a woman do if she got her
menses
during Hajj and they may not wait for
her?
This is always
a seasonal question.
First of all, the campaign,
they have to make provision
for such
cases.
Because women, they will get their message.
So
the they should make provision
that
they can wait,
husband and his wife or the wife
and.
So they provide with them accommodation.
Okay. And they
modify the tickets.
They have to do this
because the when
one of his wives,
got her period, he said, I have is
going to hold this back, all of us,
which means, oh, they should wait for her.
So then they told him, no. No. She
performed.
If
ever she did,
a little with that, now she cannot do
it. He said, then she has to,
go with us. No problem.
Will be dropped,
and you can,
expiate to it by slaughtering the sheep.
But most of the Hajj the Hajj packages,
they don't do that.
And now
she has to leave.
If it is,
oh,
she has to wait.
She has to wait. But if it is
for,
then she can leave
without performing it and make follow.
For some of
the said about even
she can't perform
after making sure that,
those days difficult for women
to
maintain
and to stop the blood. But today, there
are many sanitary towels.
She can perform doctor Waf, and
she can live out of necessity.
K. But
this opinion
is not that strong because the prophet said,
I have his.
He's going to hold us back. So, probably,
she has to wait. With the stove over
there, she can leave and,
slaughter the sheep in Makkah,
and the meat of the sheep should be
distributed in Makkah, and Allah knows best. I
hope this is clear to the questioner.
And that was the final question of tonight's
session. If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah bless you. May
Allah protect
you, protect your family. May
Allah place your status in this world.
And may Allah
bless our efforts, and may Allah accept our
efforts,
and may
Allah grant us the flaws.
I mean,
and may Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah keep us to remain steadfast
on this beautiful day until we breathe our
last.
May Allah unite our and
may Allah unite our hearts.
And may Allah reward you all immensely for
your patience and attendance.
Until we meet in the coming session,
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
